Survey data published last week show a sharp decrease in violent crime from 2024 to 2025, which is consistent with FBI numbers released last summer. Although the Trump administration has tried to take credit for that welcome development, there are several reasons to doubt such claims.
In August, the FBI reported that the U.S. homicide rate fell by 18 percent from 2024 to 2025, an unprecedented drop. According to data compiled by the Council on Criminal Justice (CCJ), the 2025 rate was the lowest
