Murders Plummet in US, Lowest in Modern History
Published 2 weeks, 1 day ago
Description
Murders in the U.S. are on track for a record drop, with nearly twenty percent fewer homicides through October compared to last year. This turnaround from the COVID crime spike is backed by Jeff Ashers Real-Time Crime Index, which pulls from hundreds of police agencies. Big cities like New York, Memphis, Chicago, and Los Angeles are seeing significant drops. The trend extends beyond murders, with robbery, assault, and car thefts also declining nationwide. As enforcement efforts intensify, this crime plunge could reshape community safety, setting a new low not seen since at least 2014.
