The FBI has released its latest crime report indicating a significant decline in crime rates across the United States, with violent crime decreasing by 4.5%. This marks the second consecutive year of falling crime rates, showcasing a continuing downward trend. Notably, while overall violent crimes have decreased, assaults on police officers have reached a 10-year high, raising concerns among law enforcement. Retired FBI agents emphasize that taking criminals off the streets is a matter of common sense rather than politics. The report highlights an overall reduction in every category of crime, yet the challenges posed by increasing violence against officers remain a pressing issue.
