Violent Crime dopped in 2025

DOJ survey finds violent crime plunged 25 percent in 2025

Preliminary Justice Department figures show serious violent crime fell 25 percent in 2025 under renewed federal enforcement, leaving hundreds of thousands fewer Americans robbed, assaulted, or sexually attacked.

Serious violent crime rates dropped 25 percent in 2025 compared with 2024, and property crime rates fell 19 percent, according to preliminary findings from the Justice Department’s Bureau of Justice Statistics. The National Crime Victimization Survey estimates point to roughly 669,000 fewer victimizations involving rape or sexual assault, robbery, and aggravated assault, plus about 3.5 million fewer property crimes over the same span.
