  • Released last week, the Uniform Crime Reporting Program estimates rely on data from more than 17,000 law enforcement agencies covering about 96% of the population, though participation remains voluntary.
  • Robbery dropped 18.5% while aggravated assault fell 7.2% and reported rapes declined roughly 7.6%, with property crime decreasing an estimated 12.4%.
  • Participation in the National Incident-Based Reporting System expanded to more than 15,000 agencies, extending coverage to nearly 90% of the population according to the FBI.
  • Projections from the Council on Criminal Justice suggest 2025 may have recorded the lowest homicide rate in more than a century, aligning with the FBI's preliminary findings.
