Crime Rate has Dropped Nationally/Gun Violence Tweets
From Monday…
Under the last administration, murders increased at the highest rate ever. Then Kamala and I passed the American Rescue Plan, leading to the largest public safety investment in history.

Now, new data confirms violent crime is near a 50-year low – and we're not stopping now. https://t.co/sR84axfG3v
Statement from President Joe Biden on Record Declines in Crime
When Vice President Harris and I took office, our nation had just seen the highest increase in murders ever recorded under the previous Administration. Immediately, we got to work – passing the American Rescue Plan that led to the largest ever federal investment in public safety. Today, new data submitted to the FBI confirms again that Americans are safer than when we took office. In 2023, according to the data, our nation saw the largest ever one-year decrease in the homicide rate, which is now 16% below its level in 2020. Violent crime also declined again and is at a near 50-year low. In 2024, this progress is continuing, with notable decreases in crime.
None of this happened by accident. Vice President Harris and I invested in public safety and took action to stop the illegal flow of guns into our communities. Our American Rescue Plan – which every Republican in Congress voted against – helped deliver over $15 billion in public safety funding that enabled over 1,000 state, city, and county governments to avoid cuts to police budgets, invest in community violence interventions, and take other essential steps to keep communities safe. I took more executive action on guns than any other President and signed the most significant gun violence legislation in nearly 30 years, which is keeping guns out of dangerous hands by expanding background checks and cracking down on gun traffickers. I established the first-ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, which is overseen by Vice President Harris, and is making incredible progress in just its first year.
We’re not stopping now. The only way to continue this progress is by investing in what works. That’s why I will continue to urge Congress to fund 100,000 additional police officers and a strong ATF, invest in community violence intervention programs, and make commonsense gun safety reforms, including a ban on assault weapons.

Statement from Vice President Harris on Record Declines in Crime
Every American in every community should have the freedom to live safe from violence, harm, and fear. Yet before President Biden and I took office, too many families were experiencing crime as our nation witnessed the highest increase in murders in recent history. That is why we immediately got to work to get our counties, cities, and local police departments the resources they need.
Statement from Vice President Harris on Record Declines in Crime. 09/23/2024.
As a former District Attorney who prosecuted homicide cases, I was proud to walk into the U.S. Senate and cast the tie-breaking vote on the largest ever federal investment in fighting and preventing crime. Our American Rescue Plan – that every single Republican in Congress voted against – helped deliver over $15 billion to cities and states to fund public safety and violence prevention strategies, hiring and keeping police officers on the beat while investing in community violence intervention and taking other critical steps to keep our families safe. As someone who got illegal firearms off the streets as Attorney General of California, I also worked alongside President Biden to enact the most significant gun safety legislation in nearly 30 years – expanding background checks, investing in mental health supports in our schools, and helping states implement red flag laws.
Today’s new data submitted to the FBI confirms that our dedicated efforts and collaborative partnerships with law enforcement are working; Americans are safer now than when we took office. Last year, we saw the largest ever one-year decrease in the homicide rate, which now stands 16 percent below its 2020 level. Violent crime is at a near 50-year low. Our progress is continuing this year and builds on substantial decreases during the previous years of our administration.
While we have made great progress, we are not stopping now. I am committed to continuing our work to support local law enforcement, invest in proven crime prevention and community violence intervention, and address gun violence with commonsense gun safety laws. As a former courtroom prosecutor who took on perpetrators of all kinds, I will always work with anyone, anywhere, anytime to keep our children, families, and communities safe.
The FBI just released the Crime in the Nation 2023 report, showing an estimated 3% drop in violent crime nationwide compared to last year. Interested in the details? Check out the full report: https://t.co/WTYOnW8kbn
