OREGON OBSERVATIONS.1 19 AUGUST 2024

Crime is down because crime is up! I’m sure I’ve told you about this before, but in case I didn’t, here goes: The FBI is the clearing house for national crime statistics. If personnel shortages in state and local law enforcement agencies cause a failure in crime reporting, AND OR victims stop reporting crimes against themselves because they know their assailant will be back out on the street before the ink is dry on his arrest documents, the FBI assumes crime’s gone down. Sort of an “ignorance is bliss” kinda thing.
