dude, it's spell as California (title)


Edit: Ok, you corrected it

No I didn't? I didn't change annything?

Well, never mind.

that to me looks like the decline of crime caused by legalised abortion...



oh no he didn't!

Hehehe. Okay I guess this isn't the first threat on crime fighting in US.

crime tends to follow the economy inversely... Of course politicians can make it worse with stupid policies like Reagan in the mid 80s but burglaries are on the rise here as the economy takes the hit.

@ Tycho, iirc, the whole map of violent/serious crimes for the entire US roughly follows that map (emphasis on roughly).

Can any of you guys help me out here?

I was recently presented with this figure on the development of various crimes in California.

In `94 California passed the “3 strikes law” witch aparantly had great effect.
But what happened in 1980? Why does most of the curves break en that year?

A lot of this isn't three strikes but instead is the decline in poor young males who tend to commit most violent crimes. Why the decline in poor young males? Simple, abortion was made legal.

Yep, the lack of fresh seven-year-olds really brought the crime rate plummeting in 1980.
