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.
In the Oval Office earlier this month, Trump said: "the crime rate now is the lowest it's been since 1900, that's 125 years".
The FBI is the main source of crime statistics in the US. It does not measure overall crime but it does count the number of violent offences reported to police.
