Summary
Crime’s on a steady decline across major U.S. cities in the first half of 2026, with homicides down 18% — a trend building on last year’s drop and pointing toward another historic low. Nine out of thirteen crime categories fell, though drug offenses rose 12% and domestic violence climbed 8%. The drop isn’t tied to one policy but likely stems from a mix of law enforcement changes, tech, and broader social shifts — happening across diverse cities with different leadership and economies. It’s a hopeful sign, but the full story’s still unfolding. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
