An analysis of new 2017 crime data shows that all measures of crime — overall crime, violence, and murder — are projected to decline this year.

After two years of decline, the estimated number of violent crimes in the nation increased 3.9 percent in 2015 when compared with 2014 data.

Overall crime rates in 2016 are projected to be nearly the same as last year, with crime remaining at an all-time low.

East St. Louis, Illinois and Camden, New Jersey rank first and second in an annual ranking of the country's most dangerous cities.
 

A new study said that well-armed populace doesn't deter criminals or prevents murders.  

Murders across the United States dropped by almost half between 1992 and 2011.

According to new crime statistics by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Chicago had more homicides in 2012 than any other city in the country.

The rate of suicide using guns has gone up in most of the 50 most populous U.S. metropolitan areas, but the murder rate has fallen, according to new statistics.
