U.S. violent crime rates in 2025 saw the largest decrease since 1937, according to FBI nationwide crime data.
Last year, murder and non-negligent manslaughter dropped by more than 18% across the U.S., and aggravated assault dropped by more than 7%, per the preliminary report from the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting Program on national 2025 crime rates, the New York Post reported. The data was collected from over 17,000 law enforcement agencies, which cover about 96% of policing in the U.S.
Overall, violent crime decreased by about 9.3% in 2025, according to the data. Rape dropped by nearly 8%, and robbery decreased by about 18.5%, the FBI reported.
Property crime also fell by about 12.4% between 2024 and 2025.
Overall, there were around 1.1 million fewer violent crimes committed in 2025 compared to 2024.
There were roughly 1.1 million less violent crimes committed in 2025 compared to 2024, and an even sharper year-over-year decrease of about 5.2 million less property crimes, according to the data.
But that amounted to a violent crime happening every 28 seconds — a murder every 37 minutes, and a rape every 4 minutes.
Property crimes happened every 6 seconds — with a burglary every 47 seconds and a motor vehicle theft every 46.
More than 400,000 violent crimes — about 47% — were cleared with arrests, and about 868,000 — 17% — of property crimes.
