It’s a relatable hypothetical. You must have the lowest IQ of any lawyer in human history. That’s not an insult either, it’s an observation based on fact.

The blueprint for achieving this is out there. And it’s not that complicated.

We still don't know why crime fell in the mid-90s and we've been studying it for like 20+ years at this point.

My favorite theory is the lead crime hypothesis



There's also a theory I find interesting about the effects of WW2 and how it made society more violent in the 70s, as the generation raised by those who dealt with WW2 grew up.

For people who rely on feelings and emotions? Sure.

This board is dominated by Gen X and Millennials and many think feel like they grew up in a safer time than today, which is objectively false.

I've been popping this bubble for almost 20 years on this site

New Zealand has this

Japan has this

Iceland has this

Singapore has this

Switzerland has this

How do these countries keep their crime so low?

The answer to this is clearly we need to staff up and have a more heavy handed federal government crack down on crime. This way everyone can feel safe....

Instead of being sarcastic, why don't you enlighten us as to what you would like to see done to bring down crime.

By what metric would you define crime as high? Just that it's not zero?

Continue doing what we were doing to drive crime rates down? Crime rates were already falling....

It's always fascinating to me that people can't separate the news and social media from real life. The 5 o'clock news has damaged some folks around here into fear of the outside....

That is an atrocity of bad statistics...

Whatever lunatic who made that plot should be shot for data science atrocities.

I am gen x and can with a strait face tell you that you are completely FOS. I do not GAF what your credentials are or what they lack in sensibility. Ignorance trumps proposed/assumed IQ. Einstein could not find his house when walking home. Enjoy walking your neighborhood as trump will be sending the NG to assist you on how to get home. I recommend a billboard saying SFP stop here in the future.

So you discount things that make the crime rate appear low. Things we know happen. Things like underreporting and decriminalizing things that should remain criminalized?

There is more to it than just the graph. It's just a good picture for message board purposes.

There is a very strong link/correleation between lead exposure and criminal behavior.

The data has nothing to do with my IQ or credentials.

We're talking like 50 years of data
