evidence: - In 2024, the Biden administration repeatedly claimed that violent crime was at a 50-year low, based on FBI statistics. The FBI defines the following as "violent crime": murder, manslaughter, rape, robbery and aggravated assault. [...] We calculated that in 2022, there were 380.7 violent crimes for every 100,000 people. That rate was marginally lower in 2013 and 2014 (379.1 and 372, respectively), meaning that at best, we can conclude that the crime rate was "near" a 50-year low. Although it's not necessarily proper to compare two different data sets, PolitiFact calculated that the violent crime rate was 401.1 in 1972 and 461.1 in 1974, and it did not fall below 400 until 2011. [...] Based on the FBI data, the Biden administration's claim of a 50-year low in violent crime is likely correct. However, the claim comes with limitations, since the FBI only tracks reported crime.
