That is misleading. While the violent crime rate basically flatlined between 2000-2017, it started going up shortly after the Trump presidency began in 2018-2019, prior to 2020 when it really started to skyrocket.
Also, trends are going to be different between states so looking at the US as a whole is not very good data to look at. Crime goes up in places and crime goes down in others. Understanding the details of where the changes are most drastic is absolutely important.
