New FBI data confirms previous indications that crime in the U.S. declined significantly in 2023, continuing a post-pandemic trend and belying widespread perceptions that crime is rising.
The new fourth-quarter numbers showed a 13% decline in murder in 2023 from 2022, a 6% decline in reported violent crime and a 4% decline in reported property crime. That’s based on data from around 13,000 law enforcement agencies, policing about 82% of the U.S. population, that provided the FBI with quarterly data through December.
“It suggests that when we get the final data in October, we will have seen likely the largest one-year decline in murder that has ever been recorded,” said Jeff Asher, a former CIA analyst who now studies crime trends.
In October, the FBI will release its final and most comprehensive look at crime in 2023.

Cops won't even enforce traffic laws in Memphis. The hood rats drive with no tags, no insurance, blow right around you to go thru red lights, weed smoke billowing out the windows, broken lights, missing body panels, and nothing. The fun part though is as soon as they cross over the county lines into Arkansas, Mississippi, or Tipton County, and it's a whole different ballgame. Then they cry racism.
Looks like the murder rate jumped 29% in 2020 and another 6% in 2021. So the total increase was over 35%. This article is saying it fell 13% in 2023 and by some amount less than 13% in 2023.
So it sounds like the murder rate is still substantially higher than in 2019, probably by 10 to 15 percent.
Good grief....sounds like Haiti in a way.
Nope...coming from The Big Guy’s Department of Just Us I don’t believe this for a minute!
The FIB statistics are not to be believed, much like the Fey Wray is a liar.
Around here due to “bail reform” (thanks Gov JOKE-uhl) they immediately release pedos, pervs, etc. Practically all assaults unless you kill the victim are “harassment.”
Apologies if it has already been posted but if you close all of the stores in high crime areas, shoplifting, grand theft and larceny all drop.
Just because they’ve all decided to give certain criminals and certain crimes a pass instead of arresting and charging like before. That does NOT mean the crime rate is down, and ask yourselves, why would they want to put that misleading statistic out there? They’re supposed to be non-partisan, what a joke.
We all see the criminality all around us.
The Keystone Kops see no crime other than Trump crime.
Just you wait until news media is attacked. Then they’ll get real. Or not. Depends on the race, religion and gender involved.
It’s amazing how far the crime rate will plummet when you stop counting crimes.
This is a load of hideous garbage. Crime is going up, IMO. Lots of it must be going unreported.
Check out 33 and 34 posts. The cops won’t even respond.
And if you add 14+ million to your population percentages go down.
Who do thunk!!!!
If you report zero crimes your crime rate drops to zero. Funny how that works.
Lies to falsely make democrats look good in an election year. People can just keep track of their local news to see the truth of the matter. Crime is skyrocketing.
I get it. Since crime rates have dropped, Americans should shut up and enjoy the absorb the illegal immigrant crime wave. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
