Miami experienced a notable decrease in crime once again last year, with crime rates reaching such lows that they may have set records, as reported by CBS News.
Only 31 homicides were reported throughout the entire year, a stark contrast to the 52 recorded in 2022. This marks the lowest number since record-keeping began in 1947.
In contrast, Miami experienced over 200 homicides in 1980, even though the population was much smaller at that time.
Non-fatal shootings witnessed a 34 percent decrease in 2023 compared to the previous year, and a similar decline was observed in non-contact shootings. Additionally, robberies experienced a 10 percent reduction. *
