Crime is plummeting nationwide — violent crime dropped 9.3% in 2025, the biggest decline since 1936, with murders falling 18.1% to levels last seen in the 1950s. Property crime, car theft, burglary — all down, with motor vehicle theft off by over 22%. The trend spans cities and rural areas, even before the current administration took office. While some crime rates still linger above pre-pandemic levels, and police solve less than half of reported violent crimes, the data shows a sustained downward trajectory — violent crime is down another 10.6% in the first half of 2026.
