Am I understanding these graph comparison correctly, so crime is going down because more bad folks are being locked up?
You're correct but it's a little more abstract as far as what kind of country you want to live in. We all love low crime but do we want our country to have the highest incarceration rate in the world? We have less than 5% of the world's population and over 20% of the world's prisoners. That's outlandish. Those numbers make me think we've over-criminalized shite in this country.

What's your solution?
What if we decriminalize and the crime rate spikes? What then?
