Dr. John Lott appeared on UNIFYD TV's Ivory Hecker Uncensored to discuss how crime statistics are manipulated and reveal the stark contrast between FBI reported crime rates and actual crime experiences shared by citizens through a national survey. Discover the shocking reasons behind why a significant portion of crimes go unreported and the systemic issues that skew the data we often trust. Dr. Lott also discussed his experience working in the US Department of Justice as a Senior Advisor for Research and Statistics. See Dr. Lott's op-ed at the Wall Street Journal titled "The Media Say Crime Is Going Down. Don’t Believe It: The decline in reported crimes is a function of less reporting, not less crime" (https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-media-say-crime-is-going-down-dont-believe-it-e5b07784?st=577t634vz92g4vw).
