The Coalition for Law, Order and Safety (CLOS) found true crime rates may be higher than FBI statistics show. CLOS points to "methodological and reporting problems" as the possible source of the discrepancy. 

 For example, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports a nearly 20% increase in homicides nationwide from 2019 to 2023, according to the researchers. Meanwhile, FBI data shows just an 8.3% increase.


 CLOS says the FBI’s data collection system has created challenges for law enforcement and contributed to lower crime reporting levels. The system is susceptible to data aggregation errors, according to the researchers.
