Subject: For The Stupid Shit That Thinks That Just Because Trump's Pick For FBI Director Means NOTHING'S Changed In Crime Statistics...

The transition in crime reporting methodologies by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and related law
enforcement agencies across the United States has undergone significant changes, particularly with the switch to the
National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) from the traditional Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Summary Reporting
System (SRS). Here's how this has impacted reporting:
Change in Reporting System:
The FBI initiated this transition to collect more granular data on crime incidents, aiming for a comprehensive
understanding rather than just summary statistics. NIBRS captures detailed data on each crime incident, including
victim-offender relationships, arrestees' age, and weapon use, which was not as thoroughly detailed in the old system.
Adoption Rate and Challenges:
While the intention was for all agencies to adopt NIBRS by 2021, the transition has been uneven. This led to a period
where significant portions of the country's crime data were either not reported or reported differently than expected:
Voluntary Participation:
Participation in the UCR program, including NIBRS, is voluntary. Some large departments, including those in major
cities like New York and Los Angeles, faced delays in transitioning or had not fully adopted NIBRS, leading to gaps in
national crime statistics.
Data Incompleteness:
This voluntary nature and the transition's complexity resulted in a noticeable drop in the number of agencies
reporting. For instance, discussions on platforms like X highlighted that nearly a third of American cities might not
have reported crime statistics in the initial years of this shift.
Impact on Data Continuity and Accuracy:
Break in Data:
There's effectively a break or at least a significant inconsistency in data continuity. This means comparing crime
statistics pre- and post-2021 might not reflect real changes in crime rates but rather changes in reporting mechanisms.
