Home » FBI Uniform Crime Report Shows 3.9% Drop in Violent Crime in 2018
According to FBI’s Uniform Crime Report, the nationwide violent crime rate decreased for the second consecutive year, down 3.9 percent from 2017.
According to a press release issued by Attorney General William P. Barr, two years ago, the Department of Justice announced the revitalization and enhancement of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), the centerpiece of the department’s violent crime reduction strategy. Throughout the past two years, the United States Attorney’s Office has partnered with all levels of law enforcement, local organizations and members of the community to reduce violent crime and make neighborhoods safer for everyone by focusing on the most violent offenders.
