Fear of crime persists among Americans, despite a decrease in property crime. A recent survey found that many people do not feel safe in their own homes. Although most respondents believed crime had not worsened in their neighborhoods, only a small percentage felt genuinely safe at home.

The survey results are surprising, given the overall drop in crime rates. Federal data shows a significant decrease in property crime, with a notable decline in burglary rates.

Further details about the survey and its findings are available, offering insight into the fears and concerns of Americans regarding crime and safety.
