About this statistic

Florida violent crime offenses stood at 10,776 in 2025, up 217.6% on the previous period.

Florida violent crime offenses, as reported by law enforcement agencies to the FBI's Crime Data Explorer. The underlying data is monthly; this chart sums it to years so the trend reads over seasonality. Since 1985 the series has ranged from 0.00 (1988) to 140,350 (1997); the latest reading is 10,776 for 2025, up from 3393 the period before.

Reported crime is not total crime: it counts what victims reported and agencies recorded, and agency participation in federal reporting has shifted over time, most sharply around the 2021 system transition. Trends within a consistent era are more reliable than levels across eras.

Frequently asked questions
Why did the numbers jump or dip around 2021?
The FBI retired its legacy reporting system in 2021 and many agencies transitioned late, which distorted national and state totals for a year or two. Interpret that window carefully.
Is this all crime?
No. It counts offenses reported to police and forwarded to the FBI. Victimization surveys consistently show substantial unreported crime.
