nation wide. But CDC said it's 26k homicide nationally in 2021. That's a difference of 8.3% if it's 24k or 23% if it's 21k between FBI's data and CDC's data. People were outraged by FBI's behavior and no longer believed their crime report since then.
So, even if 13% drop of murders in 2023 is true, people won't believe it. Because FBI lost its credibility due to it's phony 2021 report.
Also, because 2020, 2021 were so bad, a 13% drop is hard to change people's perception and hard to change reality that the murder rate is still too high comparing to pre-pandemic days.
