In response to slane
With all due respect, since I'm a sociologist who teaches this topic, in recent years the crime rate has gone down in most places.
Now, of course, with the media silos that people live in, there are certain outlets which choose to highlight certain items.
You want to know what has really gone up? Mass shootings. It doesn't happen anywhere else in the world. And it didn't start happening in this country until the past 50 years when gun manufacturers flooded our country with all kinds of weapons that no civilian should be allowed to own.
So if you're really concerned about this stuff, you should be joining the rest of us in calling for sensible federal regulations regarding gun ownership.
