Nonfatal Assaults (2021–2025)2025 Peak:
The 90,178 reported assaults marked the highest nonfatal attack rate over the last decade.
Preceding Years: Assaults remained persistently high, with 79,091 incidents reported in 2023.
Nature of Attacks: Most of these incidents are non-firearm related (e.g., simple assaults with personal weapons), and the majority result in minor or no injuries

What also isn't supported in the data, policing is much different now than it was 20 years ago. Now, an officer is much more willing to "mix it up" with a detainee or perp because a lot of them are in the profession for the wrong reason.
