Oklahoma in 7 numbers
- Every major offense fell in 2025. Homicide -21% (493 to 390), robbery -15%, motor vehicle theft -13%, burglary -12%, larceny-theft -6%, aggravated assault -2%.
- Almost half of all reports are property crime. 158,703 of 351,186 reports (45.2%); larceny-theft alone is 90,172 (25.7%).
- Clearances skew toward violent crime. 64% of homicides cleared vs 12% of motor vehicle thefts and 15% of burglaries (2025, reports cleared divided by reports received, reporting agencies only).
- Homicides fell by nearly a fifth. 390 reports in 2025 vs 493 in 2024 (-21%) across reporting agencies.
- The biggest volume is not violent. Simple assault (59,026) alone outweighs the entire personal-safety total (30,679, 8.7% of reports).
- Watch the monthly shape. Larceny-theft peaked in May (8,180) and troughed in Feb (6,306), a 1.3× swing inside a single year.
- These are reporting-agency sums. 383 of 398 agencies reported homicide in December 2025 (vs 387 in January); totals reflect who reported, not a census of crime.
Takeaways are computed from summed FBI CDE reported counts (source year 2025, 398 agencies in file). They describe reported data, not forecasts; check the methodology and coverage notes before reuse.

Clearances: what got cleared in 2025
64% of homicides cleared vs 12% of motor vehicle thefts, clearance follows violent crime, not volume.

|---|---|---|---|
| Homicide | 390 | 251 | 64.4% |
| Aggravated Assault | 22,314 | 9,915 | 44.4% |
| Robbery | 2,464 | 823 | 33.4% |
| Burglary | 25,444 | 3,775 | 14.8% |
| Larceny-theft | 90,172 | 15,516 | 17.2% |
| Motor Vehicle Theft | 14,157 | 1,667 | 11.8% |
Clearances ÷ reports received; clearances may concern earlier reports, so this is not a solve rate.
