一名白宫官员周五表示，美国暴力犯罪率大幅下降，创下有记录以来最大的年度降幅，美国联邦调查局（FBI）即将发布2025年最终犯罪数据。该官员称，统计数据显示谋杀率较上一年下降18.1%。
这位白宫官员表示，全美多个类别的暴力犯罪率也出现了显著的同比下降，严重袭击案减少7.2%，强奸案下降7.6%，抢劫案减少18.5%。
他们还表示，2025年机动车盗窃案下降22.7%，入室盗窃案下降15.8%。
据知情人士向CBS新闻透露，美国联邦调查局预计将于当日晚些时候发布犯罪统计数据的最终报告。特朗普总统预计将于今日下午在新闻发布会上谈及犯罪率下降一事。
自2025年1月就职以来，特朗普政府一直奉行强硬的公共安全政策。这些举措包括在全国多个城市展开大规模移民打击行动，其中最引人注目的是导致美国公民蕾妮·古德和亚历克斯·普雷蒂在明尼阿波利斯市被枪杀的备受关注的事件。本届政府还监督向多个大城市部署国民警卫队。在华盛顿特区，国民警卫队被派往当地警方协助应对高发的机动车盗窃和枪支暴力问题，这一举措至今仍是公众激烈辩论的焦点。
尽管本届政府将重点放在联邦行动上，但许多刑事司法专家认为，犯罪率下降的趋势是多种复杂因素共同作用的结果，而非某一项单一政策。
“凶杀案数量下降具有历史性意义，且显而易见。但就目前而言，其背后的驱动因素就像一杯牛奶一样模糊不清，”刑事司法委员会首席执行官亚当·盖尔布说道。该委员会是一家无党派智库，此前已发布了对统一犯罪报告（UCR）数据的初步分析。

“在公共安全策略、经济状况和政治领导层各不相同的城市，犯罪率都在下降。在证据确凿之前，我们应当谨慎，不要将功劳归于任何一位领导人、政党、政策或项目，”他说道。
盖尔布指出，社会层面的变化可能是此次历史性凶杀案数量下降的原因之一，例如科技让更多人居家，以及酗酒现象减少。他还表示，药物过量死亡人数激增导致街头“高风险”人群较五年前减少了数万人，这或许也有助于降低凶杀案数量。

Violent crime plummeted in 2025, White House official says, as FBI prepares to release report

Violent crime rates in the U.S. have plummeted with their biggest one-year drop on record, a White House official said Friday as the FBI prepared to release its finalized crime data for 2025. The statistics show an 18.1% decrease in the murder rate compared with the prior year, the official said.
Violent crime rates in multiple categories also saw significant year-over-year decreases across the country, with aggravated assaults falling by 7.2%, rapes declining by 7.6% and robbery down 18.5%, according to the White House official.
They also said motor vehicle theft decreased by 22.7% in 2025 and burglary decreased by 15.8%.
The FBI is expected to release its final report on the crime statistics later today. President Trump is expected to speak about the drop in crime at a press conference this afternoon, sources familiar with the matter told CBS News.
Since taking office in January 2025, the Trump administration has pursued a hard-line approach to public safety. These efforts included major immigration crackdowns in cities across the country, notably resulting in the highly publicized shooting deaths of U.S. citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. The administration has also overseen the deployment of National Guard troops to several big cities. In Washington, D.C., the National Guard was sent to assist local police with high levels of vehicle theft and gun violence, a move that remains a point of intense public debate.
Despite the administration’s focus on federal action, many criminal justice experts argue that the downward trend results from several complex factors rather than a single policy.
“The homicide drop is historic and crystal clear. But right now, what’s driving it is about as clear as a glass of milk,” said Adam Gelb, CEO of the Council on Criminal Justice, a nonpartisan think tank that released an early analysis of the UCR data.

“Rates are falling in cities with very different public safety strategies, economic conditions, and political leadership. The consistency across the map should make us cautious about handing credit to any one leader, party, policy, or program before the evidence catches up,” he said.
Gelb noted that societal shifts, such as technology keeping more people at home and a decrease in alcohol abuse, may play a role in the historic homicide drop. He also said that a surge in drug overdose deaths has left tens of thousands fewer “high-risk” individuals on the streets than five years ago, which may contribute to the lower homicide numbers.
