Meanwhile, hate crimes rose 12.5%, rape reports jumped 8.5%, and other sexual offenses climbed 3.5%—seen by police as a hopeful sign victims are finally speaking up. Drug offenses also increased 9.5% thanks to tougher policing, while homicides dropped 36%, firearm incidents fell 24%, and burglaries declined 10%. Officials stress that while reporting increases in sensitive crimes are worrying, they’re also a victory for victim empowerment—and ongoing efforts aim to support survivors and tackle root causes.
