The shooting of a San Francisco 49ers player has thrusted crime back into the spotlight as Election Day grows closer.
The shooting of a San Francisco 49ers player has thrusted crime back into the spotlight as Election Day grows closer despite a national trend of declining violent crime rates as the COVID-era spike fades away.
But concerns about crime from voters in the area are still lingering along with issues with the city’s homelessness and drug overdose rates that can also change perceptions on safety despite statistics showing improvements in violent incidents. While national crime rates are trending downward, experts caution that the data used to compile reports is often incomplete or delayed and localized.
While statistics show crime is dropping nationally, there is also evidence that it is not soothing fears for voters.released in July found crime was the No. 2 registered voters are worried about, only behind inflation. The same poll found more than half of them were at least somewhat worried about being the victim of a violent crime, while 62% of people in the survey did not know someone who had been the victim of a crime in the last year.
“But you can’t walk across the street to get a loaf of bread,” Trump said at an event in Michigan last month. “You get shot. You get mugged. You get raped, you get whatever it may be. And you’ve seen it and I’ve seen it, and it’s time for a change. We have to bring back our cities. We have these cities that are great cities where people are afraid to live in them, and they’re fleeing the cities of our country.
