# US homicide rate falls to 75-year low in 2025 2026-08-15T02:32:36+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets The US homicide rate fell to 4.1 per 100,000 people in 2025, its lowest level since 1955, according to an FBI report. Murder and non-negligent manslaughter declined 18.1 per cent, while violent crime fell 9.3 per cent and property crime 12.4 per cent. Motor vehicle theft dropped nearly 23 per cent. The data came from more than 17,000 agencies covering nearly 329 million people. President Donald Trump claimed credit, calling it the largest fall in violent crime in American history. He also cited further preliminary declines in 2026. The Council on Criminal Justice cautioned that crime has fallen across cities with different policies, leaders and economic conditions, making it difficult to assign credit to one administration or programme. ## Coverage - indiatoday.in - telanganatoday.com Tags: Council on Criminal Justice, Donald Trump, FBI, United States Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/us-homicide-rate-hits-75-year-low-in-2025-fbi-says/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
