FBI report shows decrease in violent ******, increase in carjackings in 2023

Washington — Violent ****** and property ****** decreased overall in 2023, according to data released by the FBI on Monday, although the year saw a rise in car thefts. 

The FBI’s 2023 ****** report, which the agency releases annually, uses ****** statistics from law enforcement agencies and partners throughout the country to outline the ****** landscape nationwide. This year’s report comes just weeks ahead of the presidential election, where ****** has become a key issue on the campaign trail. 

Violent ****** down

Violent ****** — which includes ******* and non-negligent manslaughter, *****, aggravated ******** and robbery — decreased by around 3% from 2022 to 2023 nationwide, the report found. 

Among the findings, ******* and non-negligent manslaughter saw a decrease of 11.6% from the previous year, along with a 9.4% decrease in *****, a 0.3% decrease in robberies and a 2.8% decrease in aggravated ********. 

The declining violent ****** rates come after a spike in violent ****** during the COVID-19 pandemic. Violent ****** also waned in 2022, falling by 1.7%.

Overall, more than 1.2 million violent ******* were committed in 2023, the report estimated. 

Property ****** down, car thefts up

Property ****** was also down overall, with a 2.4% drop from 2022, accounting for burglary, larceny theft and motor vehicle theft. While burglary decreased by 7.6% and larceny — property theft without ********* — by 4.4%, motor vehicle theft saw an increase of 12.6%, according to the report. 

Car thefts were also up substantially in 2022, with a nearly 11% rise from 2021. The slight decline in property ****** more broadly comes after rates rose by around 7% from 2021 to 2022.

In 2023, more than 6.4 million property ******* were committed, according to the report.
