DOJ Reports Significant Drop in Violent Crime and Property Victimization in 2025

The Department of Justice announced preliminary estimates from the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) showing a 25% decline in non-fatal violent crime (excluding simple assault) from 2024 to 2025. Property victimization also decreased by 19% during the same period, with notable drops in burglary, motor vehicle theft, and other household thefts. Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward attributed these reductions to President Trump's 'Make America Safe Again' agenda.
