FBI reports historic decline in U.S. violent crime and homicide rates for 2025

FBI crime report violent crime decline homicide rate Uniform Crime Reporting public safety

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has released its 2025 Uniform Crime Report, documenting a historic decline in violent and property crimes across the United States. The report shows that the homicide rate fell by 18.1%, reaching 4.1 per 100,000 people, a level not seen since the mid-1950s. Overall violent crime decreased by 9.3%, with significant drops in robberies (18.5%), rapes (7.6%), and aggravated assaults (7.2%). Property crimes also saw reductions, including a 22.7% decline in motor vehicle thefts and a 15.8% drop in burglaries.

President Donald Trump, speaking at a police academy in Long Island, credited these results to his administration’s law-and-order policies, including increased federal resources and the deployment of the National Guard. FBI Director Kash Patel also attributed the trends to enhanced cooperation between various law enforcement agencies.

However, criminal justice experts, including Adam Gelb of the Council on Criminal Justice, noted that the decline began before the current administration took office. Experts suggest that because crime rates are falling across cities with vastly different economic conditions and public safety strategies, pinpointing a single cause for the nationwide trend remains difficult.
