(4,139 posts)it doesn't account for all homicides in the US. The table accounts for about 5700 homicides but the summary page that links to this table says there were over 14,000 homicides in the US in 2014. What this means is that the FBI did not have full demographic data on victims and offenders for the remaining 8300 homicides and this is noted in the small print of the table. That still doesn't mean Trump's graphic is right, and it most certainly isn't, but the FBI table doesn't tell the whole story either. Here are some other items from the summary page; note particularly that nearly half of all murders were committed in the South:
Overview
In 2014, the estimated number of murders in the nation was 14,249. This was a 0.5 percent decrease from the 2013 estimate, a 3.2 percent decrease from the 2010 figure, and a 14.9 percent drop from the number in 2005.
There were 4.5 murders per 100,000 people. The murder rate fell 1.2 percent in 2014 compared with the 2013 rate. The murder rate was down from the rates in 2010 (6.1 percent) and 2005 (20.8 percent). (See Table 1/1A)
Of the estimated number of murders in the United States, 46.0 percent were reported in the South, 20.5 percent were reported in the Midwest, 20.5 percent were reported in the West, and 13.1 percent were reported in the Northeast. (See Table 3)
