Is it really a 50 year low in violent crime rates

The claim that violent crime rates are at a 50-year low is accurate, but it can be misleading as recent years have shown a meaningful increase in violent crime. Despite the overall decline over the past 50 years, the recent spike in violent crime, even by 10-50%, is a cause for concern. Insulating oneself from this reality, especially in more cloistered communities, may lead to a lack of awareness regarding the actual situation on the ground. While there may be some accuracy in the reported numbers, there are concerns raised about reporting issues, such as an increase in stolen cars which might not align with the overall decrease in crime rates.
