Reports
This study updates and supplements previous U.S. crime trends reports by the Council on Criminal Justice (CCJ) with data through December 2024. It examines yearly and monthly rates of reported crime for 13 violent, property, and drug offenses in 40 American cities that have consistently reported monthly data over the past six years. The 40 cities are not necessarily representative of all jurisdictions in the United States. Not all cities published data for each offense (see the Appendix for which cities reported which offenses); trends in offenses with fewer reporting cities should be viewed with caution. Not all crimes are reported to law enforcement. In addition, the data collected for this report are subject to revision by local jurisdictions.

The Daniel’s Law Task Force was established under Chapter 57 of the New York State laws of 2023 to examine behavioral health crisis response in the State and across the country with specific attention to the goal of supporting trauma-informed, community and public health-based crisis response and diversion. New York State is currently developing and expanding its comprehensive crisis system which
makes for the timely inclusion of this work.
