30% getting away with arguably our worst crime seems like it doesn't bode well for the clearance rate of lesser crimes.
I wonder if a large contributor to the higher London clearance rate is related to socioeconomic factors or surveillance laws/systems.
At a national level, the clearance rate for murders is ~61% per https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-... . Property crimes are <20%.
The FBI's UCR Data Explorer used to give you an easy to use breakdown of crimes and clearance rate at the national/state/metro/city level, but unfortunately they redesigned it and now it is both harder to use and presents less data. I guess that is one way to hide data that isn't favorable? There seems to be more emphasis on the danger presented to law enforcement officers, but the #1 cause of death for officers by a large margin, per https://www.odmp.org/search/year?year=2021, has been COVID.
Yeah, I just gave the 30% unsolved in response to the comment about NYC having 70% clearance rates on homicides.

How much of that clearance rate is railroading innocent people through the justice system and an overworked underfunded public defenders office?
This is false.
NYC homicide clearance rates for 2021 look to be over 70% for the year, with Q4 2021 at 78%. (worst quarter - 55%, best - 86%).

NYPD is not known exactly known for a particularly large amount of traffic enforcement, to the point that I think you'd find most residents wish they did more of it.
