Is US crime at a historic low?

Donald Trump

President Donald Trump has claimed that crime and murder in the US are at the lowest level for 125 years, with the White House attributing this to his "unwavering commitment to restoring law and order". Homicides are projected to reach a 125-year low - according to one study - but the same cannot be said about violent crime in the US, although it has fallen to the lowest point in decades. BBC Verify has reviewed US crime statistics and spoken to crime experts to assess what is driving the fall.
