An investigation by RealClearInvestigations found that \u2062the FBI&#8217;s updated data for 2022, released in September, \u2062indicated a 4.5% rise\u200c in violent crime rather than \u2062the previously reported 2.1% decrease. This revision included \u2063thousands more reported cases of murders, \u200drapes, robberies, \u2063and aggravated assaults. Experts like William &#038; \u2062Mary professor Carl Moody have noted that such large discrepancies in crime data are unprecedented, as previous revisions from 2004 \u2063to 2020 were much smaller and explained. The only mention of this significant change was a brief footnote in a 2023 report, raising concerns about the transparency \u2063and reliability of the FBI&#8217;s data,\u2062 as emphasized by Justec \u2064Research \u200bPresident Thomas \u2062Marvell.
