FBI report: U.S. crime rates fell nationwide in 2024
After years of pandemic-era spikes, America’s crime numbers are moving in the opposite direction. New FBI data shows violent crime fell 4.5% in 2024, with homicides dropping nearly 15% — the steepest decline among major offenses. Property crimes also saw broad decreases, including a sharp 18.6% drop in motor vehicle theft. The report reflects contributions from more than 95% of the U.S. population, marking a return to stronger participation after recent reporting gaps and reinforcing similar findings from other crime trend analyses. Amanda Hernández with Stateline has the full story that stands against popular political narratives.
