Incorrect. The graph is relative to 2015. According to this graph, homicides have fallen dramatically the past three years, and if the trend continues they will return to pre-2020 levels by next year.

2017 saw ~10% more homicides than 2015.

2024 saw only ~15% more homicides than 2015.

There is no indication that aggressive policing is responsible for the reduction from 2021.
