As for the “crime is going down” claim, here’s the reality. Crime rates rose dramatically through the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s, then peaked and started to fall slowly in the early ’90s across North America. No one knows why… despite continuing small drops in the annual crime rate, they have never returned anywhere near the lower levels of 50 years ago. Combating crime effectively involves not just law enforcement, but addressing issues such as poverty, unemployment and drug abuse.
