Trends in Robbery: What You Need to Know

 The Council on Criminal Justice has published the fact sheet Trends in Robbery: What You Need to Know at this link.

"The rate of robberies reported to United States law enforcement agencies peaked in 1991, then dropped by 2020 to levels not seen since the early 1960s.

The majority of reported robberies involve a weapon, with a firearm being the most common weapon.

While both juvenile and adult arrest rates for robbery have declined since the 1990s, in 2020, the juvenile rate was about 65% higher than the adult rate.

Following a trend seen with other crimes, the clearance rate for robberies has dropped since the 1960s; in 2022, 23% of all robberies were cleared by law enforcement."
