[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Northern VA crime is on the rise, not yet at DC levels but soon will be given that catch and release is spreading to NOVA. [/quote]

No it isn’t and knock off this catch and release right wing propaganda.

I realize Fox News viewers believe this because they are terrified of brown people. But words like “spreading” and “catch and release” are deliberate lies [/quote]

Yes, both violent and non-violent crime is on the rise in VA.  Yes, NOVA has CA’s that are not prosecuting to the extent they should and criminals are being released back into society.   For the poster always looking for a citation - https://www.13newsnow.com/article/news/crime/2022-violent-crime-fbi-data-virginia/291-36b8f958-5058-41d8-ac36-11a81ead4c7a#:~:text=Virginia%2C%20however%2C%20has%20seen%20an,span%2C%20with%20569%20homicide%20incidents.[/quote]

What I see when I go the source referenced in that article are a couple of things:

1) “Uptick” is probably the right word. It barely registered and it fell from 2018-2019. And ticked up very slightly in 2020 and 2022. Like we are talking a rate of 234 incidents per 100,000 people in 2022 compared to 208.7 in 2000. The United States rate overall is was 380.7 incidents per 100,000.

2) The “uptick” includes three years of Trump’s administration (2018, 2019, 2020)

3) There is an important caveat about data anomalies in the footnotes regarding the 2021 figures that say that data cannot be added to 5-10- and 20-year trend presentations that used different methodologies. In other words, they calculated things differently in 2021, the first real year of the “uptick.”

Context matters.
