The latest FBI report showed a decline. |
The FBI’s latest Quarterly Crime Report for Q3 2023 presents a promising trend in the U.S., revealing a broad decline in criminal activities, with many metrics returning to pre-pandemic figures or reaching multi-decade lows. This encompassing downward trend spans across various categories, including violent crimes—such as murder, rape, aggravated assault, and robbery—as well as property crimes like burglary and larceny. Notably, the reductions observed in violent crimes are among the most significant percentage declines on record.
Jeff Asher, a freelance crime analyst, emphasizes the gap between public perception and the statistical reality of declining crime rates across the country. Highlighting remarkable improvement in cities like Detroit, Baltimore, and St. Louis, Asher underscores the nationwide reduction in murder rates, irrespective of city size. However, he advises caution, noting that the FBI’s report is retrospective and the full picture of 2023’s crime rates will only emerge with the final quarter’s data.
The report also sheds light on crime rates in U.S. counties along the southern border, presenting a homicide rate lower than the national average. El Paso, Texas, is highlighted as one of the safest large communities in the country, challenging common misconceptions about safety in border cities.
