“Crime is almost certainly down an enormous amount so far this year compared to 2024. This assessment is based on multiple avenues and sources of evaluating crime data.

There are more than 380 agencies covering nearly 100 million people (96.8 million, so close to 100!) in the latest Real-Time Crime Index sample through February 2025. Property crime was down 16 percent in the sample driven by a nearly 30 percent drop in motor vehicle theft while violent crime was down 14 percent thanks to 21 percent drops in murder and robbery.”
