In 2023, the number of murders fell at the steepest rate ever recorded, according to the F.B.I.'s data, indicating a significant decline in violent crime.
Data collected by the Real-Time Crime Index showed a nearly 16 percent decline in murders from 2023 through October 2024, suggesting a continuation of this trend.
Despite the decline, polls show that Americans still perceive crime, particularly murder, as a significant challenge, influenced by high-profile incidents that keep the issue in the spotlight.
The F.B.I.'s preliminary data for early 2024 indicates an even steeper decline in murder rates, although the complete year-end data won’t be available until next year.
