What the Media Is Leaving Out of Its Reporting on Crime: John Lott
Manage episode 434664984 series 2562456
In this episode, I sit down with John Lott, founder and president of The Crime Prevention Research Center, to discuss his extensive research into national crime rates, arrest rates, as well as gun permit laws and how they impact crime.
“In 2022, the last year that we have the National Crime Victimization data for, while the FBI showed a 2 percent drop in violent crime, the National Crime Victimization data showed a 42 percent increase in total violent crime,” says Lott.
Why is there such a disconnect between media reporting that violent crime is down and the public’s perception that crime is surging?
“If you look at arrests for total crimes, reported and unreported, only 8 percent of violent crimes result in arrest,” says Lott.
