This statistic comes from a CCJ crime trends analysis released in January.
From the report:
“When nationwide data for jurisdictions of all sizes is reported by the FBI later this year, there is a strong likelihood that homicides in 2025 will drop to about 4.0 per 100,000 residents. That would be the lowest rate ever recorded in law enforcement or public health data going back to 1900, and would mark the largest single-year percentage drop in the homicide rate on record.”
