White House Claims Historic Decline in Crime Under Trump
The Trump administration says violent crime fell sharply across the United States in 2025 compared with 2024, citing the Justice Department’s National Crime Victimization Survey. It describes the decline as the largest one-year reduction in violent crime in the report’s history.
According to the administration, the reported decreases include:
Non-fatal violent crime: down 25%
Aggravated assault: down 31%
Robbery: down 27%
Burglary and trespassing: down 25%
Motor vehicle theft: down 30%
Property crime: down 19%
The White House attributes these declines to the administration’s border enforcement, deportation of criminal undocumented immigrants, support for law enforcement, and efforts to combat drug trafficking. It also criticizes Democratic-backed policies such as cashless bail and sanctuary cities, arguing they undermine public safety.
The figures and explanations reflect the administration’s claims about crime trends and their causes.
