Different methodologies, and some smaller areas (like NYC) aren't reporting.

Story was from July 2023. Is there an update, or why is it being brought up now?

Then it all changed in 2021. In an effort to fully modernize the system, the FBI stopped taking data from the old summary system and only accepted data through the new system. Thousands of police agencies fell through the cracks because they didn’t catch up with the changes on time.

Seems like it’ll get fixed eventually

Because I saw it. There have been other reports that crime is "down" only because it's not being reported. This story has some numbers.
