Violent crime in the U.S. has plummeted to its lowest level in over a century under President Donald J. Trump, according to a mid-year report. Homicides are down 18% year-to-date, on track for the lowest level in at least 126 years. Carjackings, motor vehicle thefts, and residential burglaries have also declined significantly. Compared to peak levels over the past nine years, homicides are down 51%, carjackings 73%, and residential burglaries 56%. Cities like Memphis, Washington, D.C., New Orleans, and Los Angeles saw homicide drops exceeding 32%. The administration attributes the decline to its focus on law enforcement, police support, and community resource allocation. Media outlets including the Associated Press, NPR, and local news stations have reported on the historic crime reduction trends.
