Birmingham Police Chief Scott Thurmond said the FBI data used by MoneyGeek and published by Forbes was altered by inputting a dollar value placed on each crime. Mobile Police Chief Paul Prine blasted the report as “very misleading” and “not credible.”
Birmingham Police Chief Scott Thurmond, in a statement late Thursday to AL.com, said the FBI crime data utilized by the website, MoneyGeek, and published by Forbes, was altered by inputting a dollar value placed on each crime.
He said his agency was investigating internally how inflated crime stats were submitted to the FBI in 2021. Zeitlinger said the company stands by its “methodology and our study” and points to research from two University of Miami professors and a professor at the University of Colorado, Denver, who produced an economic cost for specific crimes.
“By aggregating each crime into an easily readable stat based on population, we can make broad comparisons about which are the most dangerous cities in the country,” Milnes told Forbes. “Suffice to say we are trying to get clarity on how numbers are reported to the state and FBI,” said Prine. Prine said that aside from utilizing what he said were inflated crime stats provided by NIBRS, the other analysis by MoneyGeek is concerning. He criticized the company’s use of 2021 FBI data – the latest crime statistics provided by the federal agency – which he says do not reflect a 2023 crime rate.
He said MoneyGeek’s analysis of 263 cities is 80% of the 328 cities with a population over 100,000 residents, according to the U.S. Census.
