Acquiring a fricking gun.
Being able to acquiring a wonderful gun, is not an issue in America. Separate the demographics and Europe and America's rate are the same. Give everyone in Japan a gun and the murder rate would remain the same.

I’m speaking ideally here: I just want the reasons to be lifestyle/change of heart reasons rather than “I might get my arse killed if I attack granny and take her purse”. That’s a change driven out of fear rather than people being something better than they were
One leads to another. Fear of imprisonment leads to a person not committing a crime they might have committed otherwise, and that person ends up discovering that a crime free life is not only possible, but more desireable. They go on to raise children and teach them the virtues of a crime free life.
Whether people are honest because they go to church, have some sense of morals, or are deathly afraid of prison - I'm not sure it matters. The same with hate crimes. I'm not sure it matters if someone murdered someone else for their money or hatred. The effect is the same.

Most of the crime issue is economic more than anything.
When populations face economic strife, especially when advancement in society seems hopeless, pathology rushes in. Crime, drug addiction, etc.

I'd be interested to see that juxtaposed against the immense spike in fentanyl overdoses during the same time period.
The two topics are NOT mutually exclusive.

You don’t have to do that. Juxtapose it with 2019 murder rates and see if it’s falling versus those numbers. I would guess it’s not.
