A great piece in the WSJ confirms that crime – especially in cities – is up, not down as Biden, the media,  and other Democrats are bogusly claiming.

Jeffrey Anderson, former director of the Bureau of Justice Statistics, finds a surge in urban violent crime since 2019:

How can the left keep saying crime is down? A big reason is the FBI stats that Democrats commonly cite are “crimes reported to the police.” More than half of violent crimes are NOT reported, thanks to what Anderson calls a new era of “lax crime enforcement policies” in urban areas. Crime is a tax on living in cities. No wonder people are moving out.
