m**c 发帖数: 7349 | 1 At first glance Mr Trump could be forgiven for thinking the situation is
dire. Fresh data released by the FBI on the same day as the debate show that
America’s murder rate increased by 10% in 2015 compared with the previous
year. The violent-crime rate was up by 3%.
Despite this uptick, the longer-term trend is far rosier. The prevalence of
murder has halved since the early 1990s and, with the exception of last year
’s figures, violent crime remains at its lowest level since 1971. Property
crime fell over that period, too. |
