FBI report: American crime falls into each category

American crime rates have dropped considerably in all the main categories in 2024, according to a new report published Tuesday by the FBI – with measurable decreases in violent crimes, thefts, attacks and theft with a firearm and other main categories.

The figures were part of the FBI unified crime annual report, a report released by the office every year. And despite the extremely positive conclusions, the report highlighted an increase that gives reflection on attacks on law enforcement agents in the exercise of its functions in the past four years.

This year’s report used data shared by around 16,675 law enforcement agencies in the United States, representing nearly 96% of American residents, said the FBI.

The majority of the trends in the new report were positive. Violent crimes decreased by 4.5% in 2024 compared to the previous period of 12 months, according to the report – the second consecutive annual decline measured in the office annual report.

In 2024, the United States experienced almost 15% of the rates of private murder and homicide in force compared to 2023, the FBI said, up to the lowest quantity in about nine years.

Meanwhile, the United States also experienced a decrease of 5.2% of rapes and a 3% drop in aggravated attacks in 2024.

Real estate crime also dropped by around 8% in the same period of 12 months – a sharp drop compared to 2023, which experienced a much smaller decrease by 2.4% compared to the previous year.

Burglaries fell 8.6% and theft of motor vehicles dropped by 18% in 2024.

Haine crimes also had a short drop in 2024, according to the report.

However, the report included statistics which give sober, including an increase in the number of agents of the police killed and the number of crimes of hatred against Jewish people.

The FBI report revealed that during the four -year period from 2021 to 2024, 258 law enforcement officers were killed in the exercise of their functions – the highest trend of four years in some 20 years.

Of the 258 agents of the application of laws killed, 64 were killed in 2024, according to the FBI report.

Associations and attacks reported, including aggravated offenses and assault, also experienced a 10 -year summit with 85,730 officers attacked in the exercise of their functions.

The FBI report also revealed an increase in hate crimes reported against Jewish individualsWith 1,938 crimes of this type reported during the 12 -month period – an increase of 5.8% compared to 2023. This is the largest number recorded by the FBI since the start of its annual data collection in 1991, according to ADL.

About 1,221,345 violent crime offenses were committed in 2024, according to the FBI report, while around 419,423 arrests for violent crimes offenses were carried out during the same period of 12 months.

However, there is still a lot of work for the office: according to his estimates, violent crimes in the United States occurred on average every 25.9 seconds in 2024, with a murder over 31 minutes.

This occurs after the office has been struggling in recent years – including following the COVVI -19 pandemic – to accurately compile the annual aggregated crime data.

This was largely due to the transition from the office to the new national report system based on incidents he adopted in 2022. Many local police services had failed to move on to the new declaration of time incidents, which prompted the FBI 2021-2022 report to reflect an incomplete set of data, which was then adjusted by the office.
