Trump’s cuts to intervention programs could increase violent crime, experts say
Experts and community safety advocates warn that the Trump administration's 2025 cuts of over $800 million in U.S. Department of Justice grants for community violence intervention programs risk reversing recent sharp declines in national homicides, which fell 25% between 2019 and 2025 after a 30% pandemic-era spike in 2020. The administration justifies the cuts as prioritizing criminal prosecution and eliminating wasteful spending, though experts dispute claims that National Guard deployments drove the crime drop, note no pre-cut investigation into grant fraud was conducted, and cite evidence that community intervention programs are more effective at reducing violence than arrests alone.
