Crime Around Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton Events
They both seem to fall into the same bucket when it comes to transparency. Their views on crime and safety differ. Read about Trump’s stance on crime and safety here. Read about Hillary’s stance on crime and safety here.
Political opinions aside, we decided to look at the crime around events candidates have held since they received their party's nomination.
We couldn't draw too many conclusions. Not every police agency reports data, and those that do do not follow any specific reporting standards.
However, we did notice:
- Trump has held more rallies (30) than Clinton (13).
- Trump tends to visit cities/areas with a smaller population density than Clinton. This gives him a higher chance of being in a city that is not open with crime data (smaller cities do not have the resources of the larger cities).
- Obviously the Secret Service would not allow a rally to take place in areas that are prone to security breaches, however, if you see no data, that means SpotCrime couldn't find any data to map in the area, meaning the local police agency is not transparent with crime data.
- 7 out of 30 Trump cities do not release data (23%)
- 4 out of 13 Clinton cities do not release data (31%)
