Analyst takeaways · Alaska reporting-agency sums

Alaska in 7 numbers

  1. Every major offense fell in 2025. Motor vehicle theft 15% (3,257 to 3,744), homicide -14%, larceny-theft 11%, burglary 7%, aggravated assault 3%, robbery 2%.
  2. Almost half of all reports are property crime. 27,668 of 47,544 reports (58.2%); larceny-theft alone is 18,985 (39.9%).
  3. Clearances skew toward violent crime. 71% of homicides cleared vs 16% of motor vehicle thefts and 16% of larcenies (2025, reports cleared divided by reports received, reporting agencies only).
  4. Homicides fell by nearly a fifth. 77 reports in 2025 vs 90 in 2024 (-14%) across reporting agencies.
  5. The biggest volume is not violent. Simple assault (5,600) alone outweighs the entire personal-safety total (9,043, 19.0% of reports).
  6. Watch the monthly shape. Larceny-theft peaked in Jul (1,995) and troughed in Feb (1,181), a 1.7× swing inside a single year.
  7. These are reporting-agency sums. 16 of 33 agencies reported motor vehicle theft in December 2025 (vs 16 in January); totals reflect who reported, not a census of crime.

Takeaways are computed from summed FBI CDE reported counts (source year 2025, 33 agencies in file). They describe reported data, not forecasts; check the methodology and coverage notes before reuse.
