The FBI stated that 71% of homicides had been solved since 1980. The Murder Accountability Project reported that the murder rate was as high as 90% before 1980.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re on the verge of being the first developed nation where the majority of homicides go uncleared,&#8221; Thomas Hargrove is the founder of Murder Accountability Project. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2023\/feb\/26\/us-murders-unsolved-homicide-police-san-francisco-brandon-cheese\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Guardian<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>According to The Murder Accountability Project, the lower murder rate was due to the high number of homicides. It also suggested that &#8220;the nation&#8217;s police and sheriff&#8217;s departments were overwhelmed and understaffed in 2020 to meet the surging demand for their investigative services.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You hear every cop saying, \u2018We can&#8217;t do better because they don&#8217;t cooperate,'&#8221; retired homicide detective John Skaggs stated.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If people criticize the police constantly, it is natural that people would be less willing to talk to police,&#8221; Professor Peter Moskos of John Jay College of Criminal Justice stated.<\/p>\n<p>A homicide is considered solved by different metrics. It generally involves the arrest and conviction of the suspect and the sending them to the court. But the FBI also considers it solved when the suspect is being prosecuted in another court. The New York Post <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/02\/28\/us-homicide-clearance-rate-plunges-to-all-time-low\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, there were at least 400 murders that were solved. &#8220;exceptional means,&#8221; In these cases, police believed they had enough evidence, but couldn&#8217;t make an arrest due to the suspect having died, being unable to be extradited or refusing to face charges.<\/p>\n<p><b data-stringify-type=\"bold\"><a class=\"c-link\" href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-8107\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Murder Accountability Project firmly believes declining homicide clearance rates are the result of inadequate allocation of resources \u2014 detectives, forensic technicians, crime laboratory capacity, and adequate training of personnel,&#8221; Thomas Hargrove is the Chairman of Murder Accountability Project <a href=\"https:\/\/www.murderdata.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>. &#8220;This represents a failure of political will by local leaders.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Is the murderer in my neighborhood?
