The Largest Annual Drop in Violent Crime Ever Recorded:- Violent crime plunged 9.3% in 2025 — the largest annual decline on record.
- Murder dropped 18.1% — tying the lowest rate in recorded history.
- Robbery fell 18.5% — resulting in nearly 38,500 fewer robberies.
- Rape declined 7.6% — resulting in more than 10,000 fewer victims.
- Aggravated assault fell 7.2% — resulting in over 62,700 fewer attacks.
- Property crime dropped 12.4% — the second-largest decline in history, with nearly 750,000 fewer offenses.
These numbers — in line with the Council on Criminal Justice, Major Cities Chiefs Association, and many other sources — mark the decisive reversal of the crime crisis Democrats left behind.
Meanwhile, preliminary data for the first half of 2026 shows the decline continuing and deepening, with violent crime down an additional 10.6%, murder down another 23%, rape down 18.6%, and robberies down 19.6% compared to the same period last year. |
