CHICAGO has ended 2013 with fewer homicides than any year since 1965 and the lowest overall crime rate since 1972.
The police department also says the number of shooting victims fell to 2328 in 2013, compared with 3066 the year before.
In a news release, the department says there was a drop in several crime categories, ranging from robbery and aggravated battery to criminal sexual assault and burglary.
Violence in the city became a national news story in 2012, when the number of homicides climbed past the 500 mark.
In 2013, homicides fell 18 per cent to 415.
Over the past year, the department launched a number of initiatives targeting street gangs responsible for much of the violence and spent about $US100 million ($A112.8 million) in overtime to flood high crime areas with officers.
