Florida crime rate drops for record 50-year low

Crime is down in Florida for a 50-year low, according to the 2021 Annual Uniform Crime Report released today. The report covers the calendar year of 2021 and shows Florida's total crime volume dropped 8.3 percent, or 38,524 fewer reported index crimes, compared to 2020. Both violent and property crimes decreased in 2021. Domestic violence was also down. The summary-based crime stats can be found online at www.fdle.state.fl.us/CJAB/UCR/Annual-Reports. Two-hundred thirty-nine (239) Florida law enforcement agencies submitted summary-based crime stats covering 57.5 percent of the population. Data received was combined into a statewide aggregate covering the entire population of Florida and compared to 2020 annual figures to determine statewide trends for 2021. Not all agencies submitted summary-based crime statistics because they are transitioning to Florida Incident-Based Reporting System (FIBRS).

Twenty-nine agencies have transitioned to incident-based uniform crime reporting, while at least 140 are in the process of transitioning. Agencies can backfill data from previous reporting periods as they fully transition. Florida incident-based crime statistics will be posted online later this year.

Incident-based crime statistics provide more robust and dynamic crime reporting. FIBRS collects 56 more offense categories than summary-based reporting, including more detailed victim, offender, arrestee and property data on each crime occurrence. This expanded set of data can be used by law enforcement agencies to target their resources more effectively, by governments to guide policy and by researchers and the public working to understand crime in Florida. Incident-based crime stats will be published quarterly, with the next report published in February 28, 2023.

To quote the article about exactly how much data they are missing:

I guess crime would look way down if we only measured "57.5 percent of the population."

But yes Gracie, contrary to Fox News headlines, crime is down EVEYWHERE compared to 40-50 years ago.

"Florida" statistics are completely made up.

@#1 ... crime is down EVEYWHERE compared to 40-50 years ago. ...

Yup.

For example, NYC murders went from around 1700 in the early 1970's to less than 300 in 2018.

Crime is up in the news reporting, down in reality. The people who promote ignorant fearmongering are to blame.

Covid killed the other 42.5%.

But in all seriousness - and because I'm unwilling to read this propaganda - does the article point to any new policies implemented in recent years.

Or is this just republicans taking credit for something they had absolutely nothing to do with.

Elon should buy Florida and fire half of them.

That is going to be an ongoing problem that Gov DeSantis will have to face and explain.

Stated differently, why is he so afraid of facts?

It sure is convenient that DeathSantis' kid-diddling bestie killed himself.
