Don't let that stop the media from scaring people though.

Millennials are ruining crime, and they can't blame this one on a lack of disposable income. Go stick up a liquor store, ya lazy bums.
Fox gonna spin this as criminals being too broke to crime or something
Shocking Murder Vic Confession: "I didn't even know I was dead.Thats how good they are."
The moment a brown guy kills a person in bumfuck nowhere, they'll use that story for weeks about savages and how these monsters can disturb white folks way of life a thousand miles away.
Yay! Also has me wondering about “white collar” crime.
Estimated $50b in wage theft against workers per year I'm thinking white collar isn't being included.
How does that "zero out". A bunch of upper and middle managers embezzling millions somehow cancels the harm of not paying, usually the lowest paid employees, their fair earned wages?
Explain the logic there?
From your article-
Hiscox’s researchers studied publicly available data on nearly 400 U.S. federal court cases in which employee fraud was alleged that either became publicly known or were active in the federal system during 2016. The cases involved public and private corporations, limited liability companies, municipal and government agencies, nonprofit organizations and Native American tribal businesses.
Meaning that doesn't show anything being zeroed out, it means there were nearly 400 federal employee fraud cases.
And then it says-
Despite the alarming levels of embezzlement taking place, it isn’t top of mind for many small-business owners. When asked, “What is the most critical issue facing your business?” only 1 percent said the threat of crime or vandalism
In other words, that's utter hogwash.
I wonder if we have any statistics for non-violent crime like theft, grocery stores keep going on about rising pretty theft and I have my doubts.
police are doing historically less investigating of crimes ever since BLM told them to quit their jobs.
or maybe:
police are committing much less murder ever since they all started being required to wear body cameras
Maybe not violent crime, but, Trump is doing his personal damnedest to boost the crime rate.
Lock him up!
Is this more confirmation of the Lead Crime Hypothesis? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead%E2%80%93crime_hypothesis)
Imagine how much crime would drop if we had basic housing and income for everyone!
Turns out we already have some clear data, and don't need to speculate.

Sweet I've seen a few of those! I was hoping someone had them on hand =)
Thanks for sharing man!
And Republicans will still act like crime is at an all time high because all they watch is Fox News and Newsmax.
