Police-recorded violent crime rates includes NCVS data for the US edit
This table is supposed to be police-recorded violent crime rates, the NCVS is a self reported survey carried out by the census bureau annually. This table should not included self reported survey data.
Suggest data from a police or LE source. KarmaKangaroo (talk) 14:43, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
Correlation between crime rates and the number of police officers edit
I think in the Influences on crime section, "There is no correlation between crime rates and the number of police officers" might be controversial, and I don't think it could be supported with only one source, as other sources also said that there is positive correlation.

- This section has been removed, as an actual review of citation found that the reference is a book review about two books, and unless this was an article about those books, the reference isn't suitable for this article or that type of statement. Most importantly however the reference does not state what was written anyway, and I don't understand where or how it was originally written using that citation.
