Crime Rates Dropped Considerably in 2023
2023 was the largest single-year drop in homicides ever recorded, and the largest percentage decline for violent crimes! Murder was down over 13% in smaller cities, and over 12% in large cities! The only caveat -- Chicago & Los Angeles weren't included in the survey as data wasn't available for those cities as of the study being published, but it's still encouraging news!
