US to end 2025 with largest drop in homocide rates ever

Wednesday, December 31, 2025

This year began with a deadly New Year's Day car-ramming terrorist attack in New Orleans and is finishing with a flurry of horrific shootings, including a mass shooting at Brown University, but 2025 is also poised to end with the largest one-year drop in U.S. homicides ever recorded, according to data from cities both large and small. 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.

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!

(and thanks for dumbass posters who disprove their own talking points)

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.

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!!!

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.

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?
