The number of homicides is falling dramatically nationwide.
In 2024, murders fell by at least 14% across the U.S., according to analyses by the data firm AH Datalytics and the Council on Criminal Justice, a nonpartisan think tank. Official data from the FBI goes only through 2023 but shows similar drops. Early analyses from AH Datalytics suggest the drop will be even bigger in 2025.
Covid is the reason, FYI.
But it’s of course way more complicated than just that, as they go into in the article.
Thank you!
