Except by the police…
To be fair we won’t know if those rise or fall, because for some reason they don’t track it.
My favorite statistic on this topic is that there are roughly 8 times as many murders per capita in the US as in Germany and 4 times as many murders per capita in Mexico as in the US. So as a German the US is much less safe* in comparison of Mexico to the US. Something to think about.
*regarding homicide
Germany: 0.8 per 100,000 inhabitants (2021) USA: 6.8 per 100,000 inhabitants (2021) Mexico: 28.2 per 100,000 inhabitants (2021)
