Crime rates were noticeably higher back in the 90s, what do you think was the reason and what cause the rates to go down?

Crime went down because of all the lowlifes who were never born because of legal abortion.

While correlation does not equal causation, I've always enjoyed that point of view.

Well crime has continued to decline greatly since the 70s

Because abortion became legal leading to less unwanted pregnancies leading to less parents not caring for their kids leading to less little shits growing into big shits as a result

In New York City in particular a lot of Russian gangsters came over.

The USSR emptied their prisons of some of the worst criminals who were snuck in with a Jewish diaspora.

You got guys like Evsei Agron, Marat Balagula, and Mani Chulpayev showing up.

People are working themselves to death today so no one has any time to commit crimes. All people do now is work, work some more, shite, shower, sleep, and repeat.
