12725017, Fudging on reporting probably cancels itself out at the national

level, so no, I'm not worried about that part of it. I tend to believe a sharp 40 years drop-off being reported by countless police departments in all 50 states.
As far as what's not reported, we should fight to get those reported and bring the number down to zero.
My point, though, is that something possibly good has been happening to cut the overall number so dramatically in 40 years. Let's try to figure out what that was so that maybe we can intensify that part of the effort.
