Jul 22, 2026 | Radio

Dr. John Lott talked to Mark Walters on the Armed American Radio show about eye-opening crime data comparing the United States with Canada and Australia, explaining why reported crime statistics can present a dangerously misleading picture and how immigration enforcement and tougher prosecution policies may be affecting violent crime across America. They also discussed striking international crime comparisons, crime trends under the Biden and Trump administrations, federal immigration enforcement, criminal prosecution policies, and the record-setting decline in America’s murder rate. See also Dr. Lott’s new investigative piece at Real Clear Investigations (“Mythbuster: U.S. Much Safer Than Many Peer Nations“) and his new op-ed piece at The Federalist (“Trump’s Immigration Enforcement Really Is Slashing Violent Crime“).
