## Resource

Crime is falling across major U.S. cities, with homicides down 18% this year — the biggest drop since 1900 — and even property crimes like car theft and burglaries trending lower. But not everything’s declining: drug offenses are up 12%, domestic violence reports rose 8%, and shoplifting remains elevated. Experts say the reasons behind the drop in violent crime are complex and vary by city, involving everything from policing changes to tech and social shifts — and they’re still piecing it all together.
