The number of violent crimes in the U.S. is falling.
The FBI says preliminary figures show that type of crime fell by more than 6% for the first half of 2010.
There was a more than 7% drop in murders.
The report released Monday by the bureau doesn't give a reason for the decline.
However, it noted it's part of an overall downward trend which has lasted more than three years.
