Democrats across the country are pushing back on President Trump’s DC Crime Crackdown, which states that crime in the country’s capital is down or on historical climb, but an expert who talked to Fox News Digital has pushed the story back.
After telling about the facts of the non -profit research institute, Trump said, “These Democrats are citing FBI data from their similar crime reports. And the problem with it is that they are portraying it as if it is a record of violent crime.”
“But what is really it is, it is a record of crimes that are informed to the police and then among the crimes that inform the FBI. It is not a complete record of all violent crimes, and it is a problem. And FBI is very clear about it when they submit data in their formal report every year, where they report directly, because they are not directly comparing data, because they are not directly and local police.
While several major Democrats, including Mayor Murial Boseer, have stressed that violent crime is at a 30 -year low in the city, Agriisti told Fox News Digital that “the best way to understand the situation of violent crime in any jurisdiction” is to look at the number of murders “because it is a violent crime, because it is a dead body” because it is a dead body.

“When we look at the murder figures for DC, we see that this is not a situation that is less in the last 30 years. Quite opposite,” Agrirstie explained. “It was currently 83% higher at its low point a dozen years ago. Therefore, a serious crime in DC is a serious problem with violent crime, and now the city, country’s capital, a murder rate that is five times the US average.”
Washington, DC, the possibility of a violent crime in DC has fallen in recent years, but the possibility of dying during such crime has skyrocketed, data shows, Fox News Digital Informed on Wednesday.

“It makes it very understandable,” said Agriisti. “The police was instigated. They were pulled back out for fear of injury. People were talking about blaming the police, and this country was overall devastation. Therefore, that growth, that growth, that people are guilty on Kovid, did not actually start with Kovid, and did not appear in other countries.
Agrirstie told Fox News Digital that the United States has a “clear relationship” between crime and “saving police” and most people do not understand the “full boundary” of the problem of crime in this country.
,Last year we had around 17,000 murders, “Agriisti explained.” Imagine whether they all made national news. At the current rate of murders in this county, almost one of every 230 people in the United States is being murdered. That figure is very incredible. ,
In addition to “shocking” Facts about murderAgriisti said Compiled data Only facts suggest that one of the 10 women in the United States is raped during their lives.
,Agrirstie said, “About her horrors, and all this pain, pain, beyond death, there is also a financial cost for crime.

“Most of the crime becomes unaffected, and another event that is really, really disturbing the amount of crimes is resolved,” said Agriisti. “It used to be in this country, in 1960, 92% of all murders are resolved. In 2023, the figure was below 58%, which means that 40-plas percentage people who committed murders went away with it, and they are out to commit them again.”

In order to tighten crime in Trump’s capital, the White House says it is happening at levels that dwarf capitals in other more bad countries around the world have expressed displeasure with some elected democrats, including protests and house minority leader Hakim Zeffrees, led by liberal activists.
,When politicians are saying, “We don’t have to worry about it, it is the lowest crime rate in 30 years,” they are removing their responsibility, “Agrirstie told Fox News Digital.
“Declaration of independence stated that governments are established to protect people’s rights, including their life, their freedom and happiness. Whatever we have right now are many politicians and governments who are doing very poorly, and pain and suffering is incredible. It is just so wider and so terrible.”
