FBI Data: Tom Kean Jr.’s Law-and-Order Agenda Is Working

August 18, 2026

New FBI data show violent crime PLUNGED 9.7% last year, the largest annual drop since national estimates began in 1936.

Among further declines cited by the FBI: 

  • Murder and nonnegligent manslaughter: DOWN 18.1%.
  • Robbery: DOWN 18.5%
  • Rape: DOWN 7.6%
  • Aggravated assault: DOWN 7.2%
  • Property crime: DOWN 12.4%
  • Motor vehicle theft: DOWN 22.7%
  • Burglary: DOWN 15.8%
  • Larceny theft: DOWN 9.8% 

Rep. Tom Kean Jr. helped deliver these results by standing with President Trump and House Republicans to back law enforcement, crack down on dangerous criminals, and restore law and order. 

Meanwhile, Democrats are being overtaken by radical socialists who want to defund the police and abolish prisons.

“Tom Kean Jr. has stood shoulder-to-shoulder with President Trump to give law enforcement the tools they need, put dangerous criminals behind bars, and make our communities safer. While Democrats embrace police-defunding, prison-abolishing socialists, Kean Jr. is delivering the law-and-order results voters demanded.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
