"Crime Rates Drop, But Gun Violence Persists in the U. S. "

Despite claims of a surge in violent crime under the Biden-Harris administration, data from various sources including the FBI and victim surveys show that overall crime rates have returned to pre-pandemic levels. Jeff Asher's Real-Time Crime Index and other credible sources confirm this trend, with murder rates in major cities decreasing significantly this year compared to last. However, gun violence remains a critical issue in the U. S. , as illustrated by the tragic death of Jordan Thornhill during a Detroit block party. His parents, Venecca and Andre Thornhill, struggle with their loss while finding solace in supporting other families affected by violent crime. Police Chief James White emphasizes the need to address ongoing violence, noting that simple disputes are too often resolved with deadly force.
