Will Murder Hit Record Lows in 2025? (Ft. Crime Analyst Jeff Asher)
Manage episode 483650051 series 2953323
This week, we're talking about some good news. Some very good news, actually.
The murder rate, which has been on the decline for a couple of years now, is on pace to hit a record low. That's what the early data collected by Jeff Asher's AH Datalytics indicates. Asher joins the show to break down the numbers he's seeing so far.
He said the murder rate surged during the pandemic, but it has already fallen back to those levels and kept dropping further.
While the FBI's murder data for 2025 won't be out for nearly a year, Asher collects crime data from many of the same sources. He said his data shows a huge early decline in the murder rate that would equate to an all-time low if sustained. He cautioned that the decline is likely to slow as the year progresses, but it should still hit a record.
Special Guest: Jeff Asher.
