A Slight Drop in the Rate that Total Violent Crimes Resulted in an Arrest in 2023, A Very Slight Increase for Property Crimes

May 31, 2025 | Original Research

We had previously reported that 20.3% of total violent crimes in 2022 result in an arrest and that was true for 3.8% of total property crimes. That was obtained by taking the Bureau of Justice Statistics measure of total violent and property crimes that were reported to the police times the rate that reported crimes result in an arrest. The numbers for 2023 showed a drop for total violent crimes result in an arrest from 20.3% to 18.45% and for total property crimes a slight increase from 3.8% to 4.2%.
