“Majorities think crime is increasing both nationally (73 percent say there is “more” crime), as well as in their local communities (54 percent),” according to a Fox News poll released Wednesday.
Fifty-four percent of polled respondents also said their local area has more crime now than it did this time last year. Only 28 percent said their local area had less crime.
