Is crime in Washington DC 'out of control', as Trump claims?

President Trump claims crime is "out of control" in Washington DC but Mayor Bowser says the city has seen a significant decrease in crime. Data from the Metropolitan Police Department shows violent crime in DC is at a 30-year low, with a 26% decrease from 2024, despite discrepancies in reporting between the MPDC and FBI. While homicide rates spiked in 2023, they have since dropped, and current crime trends in the capital, including carjackings, are being addressed by city-wide measures.
