US to End 2025 with Largest Drop in Homocide Rates Ever

Based on a sampling of preliminary crime statistics from 550 U.S. law enforcement agencies, the year is expected to end with a roughly 20% decrease in homicides nationwide, Jeff Asher, a national crime analyst, told ABC News. "So, even taking a conservative view, let's say its 17% or 16%, you're still looking at the largest one-year drop ever recorded in 2025," said Asher, co-founder of AH Datalytics and a former crime analyst for the CIA and the New Orleans Police Department.

Chicago is set to close out 2025 with a dramatic drop in homicides, even amid a repeated push by the Trump administration to deploy military troops into the city to address what they've called a "crime epidemic." https://to.wttw.com/45noL0x

So now we believe the numbers?

HAHAHAHAHAHA

By history----long history---murder rates go up when economic stress rises.

So does the suicide rate.

The first thing the expert says in the linked video is that, 'the same thing happened in 2024, and we are seeing it again in 2025.".

SO, in 2024 the trend started under Biden, sans ICE bullies and Gestapo Tactics from this Admin's Cult of Hate and Violence against Americans from the dull-witted likes of Herr 'Sieg Heil' Miller, Nutty Noem, Krash Patel, Bloody Blondi.

Thanks, Trumpers!

Suicides up but murders down?

Taking the conservative view, your stats are lies.

The FBI is part of Trump's Justice Department and Trump's Justice Department is corrupt.

As corrupt as Trump is, and the political need to see murder rates drop in Trumpworld is immense.

I'm sorry, this is the reality we face when confronted by LIARS.

Such as yourself.

So far Trump has lowered violent crime and rescheduled MJ and you nutters can't deal with it.

"Trump has lowered crime"

Got you sycophants are awful.

Economic turmoil from a pandemic caused crime to spike, economic recovery from the pandemic turmoil caused crime to drop back down.

But yeah, derp...TuRmP DoezEd ItZ!!!

SO, in 2024 the trend started under Biden,

What caused the drop? Are you claiming Biden caused it?

Again I go back to medical advancements (more violence, less deaths), and the distance from COVID lock down mayhem.

#12 | POSTED BY LFTHNDTHRDS

This could be true. But I don't think rescheduling MJ is a long term good idea. But Lumpers did say it would reduce crime, and violent crime.

Can dispensaries now put their money in legit banks?

How many law enforcement agencies are there in the USA?
How is law enforcement structured in the US? There are about 17,600 government agencies involved in law enforcement in the US, including nearly 100 federal agencies and 17,500 state and local agencies.Sep 12, 2025

The vast majority of which probably don't register a single homicide a year.

You do know these stats are run by actual statisticians who know how to power their analyses to ensure accuracy within a given +- % range, right?

You don't have to measure it all, just like you don't have to poll every person in the country to get polling data.

"The vast majority of which probably don't register a single homicide a year."

Especially when it's the cops doing the homicide!
There is no federal reporting requirement for police to report any homicides at all -- done by cops or civilians.

"You do know these stats are run by actual statisticians who know how to power their analyses to ensure accuracy within a given +- % range, right?"

True, but those error bars are gonna be pretty big when there's "NO DATA" from countless Republican jurisdictions all across the country.
