  • How reliable are the crime stats shaping public policies and perceptions?

    On this episode of Deep Dive Dispatch, we expose the critical cracks in the FBI's crime data reporting system. From incomplete submissions during the NIBRS transition to alarming cases of underreporting and data manipulation, we reveal how these flaws distort public understanding and fuel misplaced fears.

    Discover the chilling truth behind "fuzzy math," the pressures on law enforcement to reduce crime on paper, and the widespread underreporting that skews national data.

    Learn why transparency and accountability in crime reporting are non-negotiable for building trust in public safety systems.
