Crime Stoppers Bermuda’s Post

#InsuranceNation #propertyinsurance #claims #theft #keepingyouinformed Property crime is significantly more common than violent crime in the United States, with the FBI reporting 1,954.4 property crimes per 100,000 people, compared to 380.7 violent crimes. Nearly 72% of property crimes are larceny or theft, with the other 28% of crimes closely split between motor vehicle theft and burglary.

Data from the National Criminal Victimization Survey dropped yesterday and, as usual, the Council on Criminal Justice is here to help you understand the big picture takeaways about crime from the perspective of victims (see the CCJ post below for analysis). TL/DR: Violent crime victimization continued to trend down and in 2023 was in line with pre/early pandemic rates (a big increase in robbery being the exception). Property crime victimization continued to trend up, fueled by motor vehicle thefts. The rate at which victims reported criminal incidents to law enforcement increased from 2022 to 2023 (again, with some exceptions). Law enforcement data should drop next week, which will have information on crimes reported to the police in 2023. If you're wondering why we're talking about 2023 when it's almost 2025 (!!!), please read the data-driven policy recommendations of the Crime Trends Working Group, which aim to increase access to timely, accurate, usable, and complete crime trends data! https://lnkd.in/e8saBiA4 #cjreform #criminaljustice #criminaljusticereform #BJS #NCVS #criminalvictimization

When Don “The Con” lies about crime going up does he really mean that he is personally making crime go up? Because violent crime is going down across the country. Property crime is going down some places and going up in other areas of the country. Just a reminder, Donald Trump is a convicted felon for hiding hush money payments to an actor in pornographic films with whom he is alleged to have had a tryst. The hush money was paid for the purpose of hiding this information from the American public before they voted in a presidential election. The hush money deal arose at the same time as the “Grab ‘em by the” recording from Access Hollywood. Of course, Don “The Con” denied all of it. That’s not really his voice in the recording, he doesn’t even know what pornography is, and if Project 2025 were already in place none of this would be happening because he would have Supreme Court immunity and he would be dictator on day one. It has been breathtaking the frequency of Don “The Con” committing crime after crime after crime and telling lie after lie after lie. We have so many important issues to address and problems to solve. Like ending fossil fuels. But instead Don “The Con” has his freedom of speech to spread lies. And we have to spend precious time fact-checking his campaign to Make America Prevaricate Again. You just have to check every word that comes out of his mouth because there will likely be a lie uttered before you can blink your eyes twice. JTB 7-19-24 The facts on crime from Associated Press: “Murders dropped 13% in the last three months of 2023 compared with the same period the year before, according to FBI data released this week. Violent crime overall was down 6%. Property crime also ticked downward about 3% in the nation as a whole, though in the Northeast and in large cities over a million people it increased by about the same amount. [Are Don “The Con” Trump’s crimes factored in then?] The quarterly report released Tuesday is based on data sent to the FBI from about 80% of the law enforcement agencies in the country. Final detailed data for 2023 is expected to be released in the fall. President Joe Biden said the drop in the murder rate was one of the steepest in the country’s history. The $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, passed in 2021 by a Democratic-led Congress and signed by Biden, allowed cities and states to invest $15 billion on public safety, he said.”

Today the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) released its latest National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), which collects information on nonfatal crimes reported and not reported to police. The survey covers crimes experienced from July 1, 2022, to November 30, 2023. Calendar year 2023 crime data are due out soon from the FBI; there are likely to be notable differences.    For now, read on for a synthesis of some key takeaways from the CCJ team. https://lnkd.in/g_TS7YZR     Aligned with trends we’ve reported, the NCVS shows violent criminal victimization is trending down in the U.S. After a sizable increase from 2021 to 2022, violent victimization resulting in an injury decreased and was in line with rates from 2019 and 2020. Robbery was an exception, however, with the victimization rate 63% higher in 2023 than in 2020 (during the COVID lockdowns). Violent victimization by strangers increased and was significantly higher in 2023 compared to 2019-2021.    As we reported at the launch of the CCJ Women’s Justice Commission, women have been more likely than men in recent years to report being victims of violent crime. Women’s share of all violent victimizations rose again by 4 points last year and has increased from 41% in 1993 to 55% 2023: https://lnkd.in/gzxZ_FuD   Property crime victimization was slightly higher than the previous year, likely driven by increases in the rate for theft, such as motor vehicle theft. Motor vehicle theft, which was up nearly 11% from 2022-2023, was up 56% from 2019-2023.    The survey showed several nuanced findings related to the rate at which people reporting crimes to police. Overall reporting of criminal victimization increased from 41.5% in 2022 to 44.7% in 2023, but there were notable differences by crime type. For instance, the percentage of robbery victimizations reported dropped from 64% in 2022 to 42% in 2023, while aggravated assault reporting grew from 50% to 57%. Victims of rape or sexual assault were twice as likely to report to police in 2023 than in 2022, but robbery victims were 34% less likely.    We look forward to the release of crime data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)'s National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) as soon as next week—and will analyze any divergence between the victimization survey and law enforcement data, as we did in this piece last year. https://lnkd.in/gjuNqBNT    Among other recommendations in its June report, the CCJ Crime Trends Working Group urged the Department of Justice to release the two reports together and offer explanations for conflicts between the two data sources: https://lnkd.in/gJ-JaQ9f

The report also highlights that an estimated 1,4 million incidences of theft of personal property occurred in 2023/24, affecting 1,3 million individuals aged 16 years and older. A total of 443 000 individuals experienced street robbery with an estimated 497 000 incidences according to the report and 295 000 individuals experienced assault in a total of 506 000 incidences.
