Violent and property crimes declined across the United States in 2024, according to new FBI data released Tuesday. Preliminary data from the first six months of 2025 suggests the downward trend in crime is continuing.
The FBI's annual "Uniform Crime Report", compiled from more than 16,600 law enforcement agencies covering over 95% of the U.S. population, shows decreases in all major crime categories, including a 14.9% drop in murder and nonnegligent manslaughter and an 18.6% drop in motor vehicle theft.
