US Murder Rate Plummets, Lowest in Modern History
Published 2 weeks, 1 day ago
Description
The U.S. is experiencing a significant drop in murders, with nearly twenty percent fewer killings through October compared to last year. This turnaround is led by big cities like New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, with murders down nearly twenty percent in New York City and Memphis, and almost twenty-eight percent in Chicago. The Real-Time Crime Index, which tracks willful killings, shows a nationwide decline in violent crimes. FBI Director Kash Patel predicts the 2025 homicide rate will be the lowest in modern history, a trend that could beat the record low from 2014. This progress is attributed to the Trump administrations focus on tougher enforcement.
