Number of reported robbery cases in the United States from 1990 to 2023
The FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program defines robbery as the taking or attempting to take anything of value from the care, custody, or control of a person or persons by force or threat of force or violence and/or by putting the victim in fear.
Due to the FBI's transition to a new crime reporting system, not all law enforcement agencies submitted data to the FBI for 2023. As a result, figures may not accurately reflect the total number of crimes.
