The pani of global tarrifs and the chase of illegal mmigrants by federal agentsproceeded shourtly when President Donald Trump entered his second White House term in 2025. Especially the frenzy with many small business’ and manufacturing feared closings in result of Trumps tariffs. In addion, the high cost of living lunged through the pocketbook of millions of Amerians and one must wonder has the high cost of livimg increaed crime? Has petty larceny (shoplifting) increassed in major department stores and into other small buisness’.
Cannot help to think alongside of the national FBI crime rate how greateroffenses increased or not. And for this, is reason to believe the chaos nationally by sending the National Guard to various locations not only to assist local police municipalities to hagar out street crimes, but to safeguard against citizens infringing upon federal custom agents arresting and detaining illegal immigrants.
The FBI’s crime statistics (Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR), estimates and based on reported information annually by local, state and other federal law enforcement agencies, display were violent crime occurred on average, every 25.9 seconds in 2024. The breakdown shows on average a murder occurred every 31.1 minutes and a rape occurred every 4.1 minutes (Washington, D.C.Criminal Justice Information Services Division). Note, thta many victims of rape are unreported to police. Why? because indviduals victimized by this horrific violence fear of police interrigaition, hospial examinations and court roomdefense attorneys and the accused. According to the Criminal Justice Information Services Division,l national violent crime decreased an estimated 4.5% in 2024 compared to 2023. Robbery estimated a decrease of 8.9% nationally. Murder and non-negligent manslaughter recorded a 2024 estimated nationwide decrease of 14.9% compared to the previous year.In 2024, the estimated number of offenses in the revised rape category saw an estimated 5.2% decrease.Aggravated assault figures decreased an estimated 3.0% in 2024 (08/05/2025,Criminal Justice Information Services Division,FBI Releases 2024 Reported Crimes in the Nation Statistics).
Well, perhaps in this long reach to increase tariffs through from foreign soil and drive the high cost of living down a slippery slope, might eventually benefit the American package of dollars and cents to the standards of every American living andperhaps with the help and enforcement of th National guard reduce the crime rate as reported in the FBI UCR.
