United States violent crime rates see largest year-to-year decline since 1936

FBI crime report violent crime decline murder rate hate crime statistics Uniform Crime Reporting

FBI data for 2025 reveals the largest year-to-year decline in violent crime rates in the United States since the agency began estimations in 1936. The report shows significant decreases across multiple categories of crime.

Murder and nonnegligent manslaughter offenses fell by an estimated 18.1%, resulting in a murder rate of 4.1 per 100,000 inhabitants. This rate ties with the mid-1950s for the lowest recorded in the country. Other major declines include an 18.5% drop in robberies, a 7.6% decrease in rapes, and a 7.2% reduction in aggravated assaults.

Property crime and hate crime incidents also saw downward trends. Reported hate crime incidents decreased by 7.0%, falling from 11,404 in 2024 to 10,606 in 2025. However, data indicates that religious hate crimes disproportionately targeted Jewish people, who accounted for 64% of the 2,572 religion-based hate crimes reported.
