U.S. on track for record-breaking drop in homicides in 2025, with a nationwide decline of around 20% and a more conservative estimate of 16-17% still shattering records. Big cities like Detroit, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans, and San Francisco could see their lowest murder rates since the 1960s. Chicagos homicides are down 30% from 2024 and nearly 50% from 2021. Aggravated assaults and motor vehicle theft also decreased.
