The U.S. is experiencing one of the steepest and most widespread crime declines in modern history. Researchers aren't exactly sure why — but they have theories: - Early research points to a mix of factors — declining alcohol and drug use since the COVID pandemic, AI-fueled policing technology that's making it easier for cops to catch suspects, an aging population, tougher prosecutions, and more.

By the numbers: The U.S. violent-crime rate plunged 9.7% in 2025 , the…

Additionally, the shrinking proportion of young people in America and the use of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs like Ozempic, which are linked to decreased alcohol abuse and improved impulse control, are considered contributing factors.
