Doubling down on argument that doesn't jive with people's lived experience... What could go wrong? Oh right.
The complaints of inflation are insane.

And it got way worse after that in the Reagan-Bush years and only got better when Midgely’s Mob aged out of crime.
Cut the bullfeathers we know crime wasn’t caused by progressivism.

F that if they’re full of it they’re full of it, no being on the winning team makes them honest.

Inflation is real and was driving factor, everything else was just a sideshow.

It peaked in the 70s

True it peaked in the 70s, brief dip in the mid 80s, almost hit the same peak in the late 80s and early 90s and then dipped consistently until Trump’s first term and then dipped again during Biden’s.
We can correlate the surge and drop to lead in gas with similar time lags across countries with different lead dates. Other reasons too. Crime is down but concern for crime is way up so vote for the criminal. The complaints about crime are even more insane.

People don't worry about the present they worry about the future.

Rambling and inconsistent
so how does this mesh with a consistent downward trend over 50 years

My whole point is crime didn't start going down until Republican mayors like Rudy Giuliani got elected and went tough on crime. Dems later got on board ala Clinton with his criminal reform bill to fight the "super predators".

Crime went down universally in the whole developed world at the same time when we banned leaded gas. Nothing else mattered otherwise you'd see variable trends due to politics in regions. So called tough on crime is irrelevant.

Wow I didn't know Guiliani could bring down crime in cities that went counter to that trend AND SAW THE EXACT SAME DROP

And it's unwound faster than precedent. That makes sense as we have much faster shipping + corporate repricing abilities in the cyberpunk 20s than the faxpunk 70s.
Rudy saw more murders in his town in one day than any other mayor has seen in a year.
I do not think they are counting 2001 right.
You mean the WTC deaths? If so, I think those deaths are likely counted differently than the ongoing street and domestic violence deaths.
The graph is not titled "ongoing street and domestic violence deaths".

Moody old mage.
I don't think "murders" covers "terrorist attacks" in most statistics either.

That would skew the statistics too much, a single terrorist attack in a small country would totally distort the average, we have apparently about 185 murders in a year, 22 march 2016 accounted for 33 in a single day.
