Crime in U.S. Seen as Less Serious Problem

Gallup : “Building on last year’s less-negative assessments of crime in the U.S., Americans’ perceptions have again improved in 2025.”

“Less than half, 49%, now say crime is an ‘extremely’ or ‘very’ serious problem in the U.S., and the same percentage say crime has increased in the past year. These readings are down seven and 15 percentage points, respectively, since last year and are at their lowest levels since at least 2018.”
