Violent crime is falling nationally, but not in pro-criminal California
(Worthy News) – While violent crime dropped nationally in 2022, California has once again proven that it is inept at providing its residents with any increase in safety or quality of life.
The recently released FBI data found that California’s violent crime rate increased by 3.8% in 2022 compared to 2021, even as the national violent crime rate dropped 1.6%. This is after California’s national crime rate jumped 8.9% from 2020 to 2021, even as the national rate decreased. While the national violent crime rate is finally below pre-pandemic levels, California’s rate is 13% higher and is going in the wrong direction.
In other words, California has no answers to slowing violent crime. In some cases, that is because state leaders are incompetent. California hasn’t been able to get a handle on gun crime despite having the toughest gun control laws in the country, mostly because those laws are targeted at law-abiding gun owners instead of the criminals actually breaking the law.
