While headlines tend to focus on falling clearance rates in large liberal cities, the decline occurred nationwide in both red and blue cities, counties and states. The violent crime clearance rate, for example, fell considerably between 2019 to 2022 in big cities, which tend to be led by Democrats, as well as in small cities and suburban and rural counties, which tend to be led by Republicans.

      I mean no, that is the solve rate for rape that police are willing to investigate, which is basically “the victim is a pure innocent white woman and there is a lot of actual physical evidence unlike 99 percent of rapes”
