National Crime Victimization Survey Shows 25% Drop in Violent Crime in 2025

The U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) released preliminary estimates from the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), indicating a 25% decrease in the rate of non-fatal violent crime (excluding simple assault) from 2024 to 2025. The report also noted significant declines in property victimization, burglary or trespassing, motor vehicle theft, and other household thefts, with the Associate Attorney General attributing the success to the 'Make America Safe Again' agenda.
