It also gives Vice President Harris, a former prosecutor in San Francisco and California attorney general, a potent defense against attacks from the right on crime...
An Axios analysis of data from the Major Cities Chiefs Association found an overall 6% decline in violent crime among 69 cities during the first six months of 2024 compared to the same period last year.
- 54 of the 69 major cities in the report saw drops in violent crime in the first half of 2024, according to the Axios review.
- Columbus experienced the largest percentage decline in violent crime in the nation, with a massive 41% drop so far in 2024. Omaha was second with a 30% decrease.
- Miami and D.C. so far, have seen 29% declines in violent crime.
