Murders in North Carolina are up 32% compared to just five years ago
Woke, soft-on-crime prosecutors and attorneys general are plain wrong
CHARLOTTE – The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation publishes annual reports of crime incidents and rates in North Carolina. The most recent report discloses figures through 2022.
Here’s the number of murders by year, from 2013 to 2022:
The number of murders is 75% higher than one decade ago, and 32% higher than five years ago.
In fact, the number of murders was higher in 2022 than in nine of the past 10 years.
