Public safety group finds FBI violent crime data is higher than initially reported

Several big cities – Los Angeles, New York City, and Chicago – did not submit crime data at all to the FBI last year. the New Orleans Police Department announced they had under-reported sex crime data that was filed to the FBI in 2021 and 2022. In 2014, a Los Angeles Times investigation found that the Los Angeles Police Department had "systematically downgraded" serious violent crime offenses to minor offenses between 2005 and 2014.
