If you want to compare actual incidents you need to use actual reports of incidents, form the same sources from year to year.Last edited by Sparko; 10-20-2021, 10:13 AM.

And if you had read the entire article, you would have seen that the other other Reporting system, is also inaccurate

They could end up calling a bunch of white people who have no idea about any Asian violence, for example. Or you could get people who lie or exaggerate. At least with actual crime reporting you are counting known incidents. The number if anything would be lower than actual incidents because not everyone reports it.
