The most violent crimes in the United States were reported in 2025, according to a report from the Major Cities Chiefs Association. The data also indicates that homicides fell by 19%, robberies decreased by over 20%, and aggravated assaults dropped by nearly 9%. However, there were nearly 5% more rapes reported in San Antonio last year compared to the previous year. The decline in violent crime is attributed to improved policing strategies and increased vacant lots, and the elimination of lead from the environment.
