After years of high violence rates across the U.S., homicides appear to be declining, a new study found.
Homicide and crime numbers sparked to historic levels with the onset of the pandemic, but new data shows the rates are trending downward — a hopeful sign the steady increase is over, though not back to where levels were pre-COVID.
But the rates reported this week were still on average 24% higher than 2019 numbers. And even if the numbers did reach the 2019 rate, that rate was still 15% higher than in 2014, when homicide rates were recorded at their lowest since World War II. Still, the report suggests nearly all offenses had lower or slightly changed rates compared to last year, with the exception of motor vehicle theft.Twenty of the included 30 cities had a decrease in homicides — from 59% in Raleigh, North Carolina, to 2% less in Nashville — and 10 cities increased in homicides, from 5% more in Seattle to 133% in Lincoln, Nebraska.
