New Data Shows Rise in Violent Crime in Fairfax County

Crime Scene Ribbon

(WJLA) — The increase in violent crime in Fairfax County is among the highest in the country, according to a new report that tracked violent crimes in 2023.

D.C. saw the largest increase of any major city in the country for violent crime while Fairfax County ranked seventh in the country with an 8.7% increase in violent crimes which is a larger increase than nearby Prince George’s County and it’s a larger increase than Montgomery County, Maryland.

This is all according to a Major Cities Chiefs Association (MCCA) report which collected homicide, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault crime data from 69 police departments across the country for the first nine months of this year and compared crime trends to the first nine months of last year.

MCCA found that Fairfax County saw a sizeable increase in the number of rapes and aggravated assaults.
