What? You're talking about a mild annual shift that might not even have outpaced population growth. The very article makes the longer term trend clear:

"According to the report, there were an estimated 1,197,704 violent crimes committed around the nation. While that was an increase from 2014 figures, the 2015 violent crime total was 0.7 percent lower than the 2011 level and 16.5 percent below the 2006 level."

Of course, over the span of civilization, we're in by far the most peaceful era in human history, you know, with our liberal values and all.
