In September 2024, the FBI released data indicating a decline in violent crime across the US in 2023. The preliminary information for 2024 also suggests a continuation of this trend, although the data is not yet finalized and only covers crimes up to June.
Crime experts and researchers have expressed frustration over the delay in obtaining reliable crime data from the FBI, which can take up to nine months to be released.
