''Under the Biden administration, violent crime numbers in the United States have generally decreased. According to recent FBI data, there was a significant decline in violent crime during the first quarter of 2024, with murder and rape dropping by 26%, robbery by 18%, and aggravated assault by 13%, resulting in an overall 15% decrease in violent crime compared to the same period in the previous year[1][2]. This decline follows a trend observed in 2023, where violent crime rates were reported to be near a 50-year low[3].
The Biden administration attributes this decrease to efforts such as increasing police presence, holding criminals accountable, and removing illegal firearms from the streets[2]. However, some experts caution that the preliminary data might be overstated due to potential reporting errors[1].
Despite these national trends, perceptions of crime vary, and some regions or cities may experience different trends[5]. Nonetheless, the overall data indicates that violent crime has decreased during Biden's presidency, countering claims that crime has skyrocketed[4][5].
