The decline in reported crimes is a function of less reporting, not less crime.

News outlets claim that Americans mistakenly believe violent crime is rising. A Gallup survey last year found that 92% of Republicans and 58% of Democrats thought crime was increasing. A February Rasmussen Reports survey found that, by a 4.7-to-1 margin, likely voters say violent crime in the U.S. is getting worse (61%), not better (13%).

Americans aren’t mistaken. News reports fail to take into account that many victims aren’t reporting crimes to the police, especially since the pandemic.

The U.S. has two measures of crime. The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Uniform Crime Reporting program counts the number of crimes reported to police every year. The Bureau of Justice Statistics, in its National Crime Victimization Survey, asks about 240,000 people a year whether they have been victims of a crime. The two measures have diverged since 2020: The FBI has been reporting less crime, while more people say they have been victims.

The divergence is due to several reasons. In 2022, 31% of police departments nationwide, including Los Angeles and New York, didn’t report crime data to the FBI. In addition, in cities from Baltimore to Nashville, the FBI is undercounting crimes […]

The LoveSmarts Teen Seminar held on 2/24/24 in Matamoras, PA was also livestreamed to groups in Nigeria, Kenya, Zambia, the Philippines and around the U.S.

It was presented by Linda Doering, who has taught more than 50,000 youth in the U.S. and internationally about the benefits of delaying sexual involvement, setting and aiming for your chosen life goals and avoiding risky behaviors.

Here are some of the comments by those attending in person.

As a Mom, (it made me feel) proud of myself for being firm and pushing abstinence with my daughter! The presenter was amazing! I would love for this to be taught in the local school district!” L.M., parent in Milford, PA

(I learned) many beneficial points that I, as a 24-year-old female, can use in daily practice to have a better life and steps to gain faithful and healthy relationships. E. Greene, Jersey City, NJ

I found the teaching about saying no and setting boundaries to be very useful! Also, be careful who you’re around and to save sex until marriage. The teaching about STDs was gross, but also helpful. I’ll use what I learned to guide me to my future success! Lyriq, 13, Newark, NJ

On December 8, Freedom Faith and Family Coalition supporters attended an alarming, but eye-opening event in Middletown, NY called “Wake Up to the CCP Threat.”

Speakers included

Sean Ling explained that as a student, he participated in the Tiananmen Square demonstrations in 1989. In 1999 a senior Chinese colonel wrote a plan called “Unrestricted Warfare,” which includes such things as shipping fentanyl via Mexico and spreading Covid 19 as a bioweapon around the world, heightened nationalism, industrial warfare through manipulating the supply chain, bribing Wall Street and information warfare, and spying through TikToc. Reports from CNN and the New York Times on the death of Zang Zemin actually praised a man who organized the organ harvesting industry in China.

Many CCP elites suddenly became rich with “privatization” of companies. Now we see demonstrations in Shanghai openly calling for the CCP to step down. They have locked down the […]
