"Two of the federal governments methods of measuring crime tell two
different stories, complicating recent claims from the media and
President Joe Biden that crime is declining.
Numerous media outlets have, in recent months, run headlines
suggesting that crime is declining across the country. The statistics
theyre citing, however, dont tell the entire story.
The federal government has two ways of measuring crime, the Bureau of
Justice Statistics National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) and the
Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR)
program. The former asks around 240,000 Americans if theyve been the
victim of a crime in the last year whereas the latter relies on crimes
reported to police in a given year and shared with the bureau.

A gap has emerged between the two measures. More people are telling
the Bureau of Justice Statistics that theyve been victimized, but the
FBI is reporting fewer crimes.
The UCR reported that violent crime fell by 2% between 2021 and 2022,
according to the Council on Criminal Justice. By contrast, the NCVS
found that the number of people saying they were the victims of
violent crimes increased by 42.4% between 2021 and 2022, rising from
16.5 victimizations per 1000 people to 23.5 victimizations per 1000."
