The FBI reported on Monday the results of its preliminary nationwide crime statistics, showing a 1.3 percent decline in violent crime during the first six months of the year.

The decline follows a nationwide trend. However, Indian Country crime remains stagnant and at a higher rate than the rest of the nation.

Yesterday's report does not disclose crime on reservations.
