set aside as

EXCLUDED BY ATTRIBUTION

the researcher's note

Garrett Langley's claim that Flock was "a big part" of the nationwide crime decline. No source apportions any share of the decline to the system. The one study CNN cites — Atlantic City, New Jersey, 2022 to 2024 — found no reduction in violent crime and could not separate its results from the national trend over the same period.
