We normally look at crimes by rates, X per 100,000, so the fact that the total population is quite a bit bigger between the two periods is significant.
So is the fact that the item you're comparing today's still living, old Boomers to a by definition much younger Millennial population. There were once quite a few more Boombers, and circling back to my entire point, young Boomers of the criminal producing age.
- maxerickson 10y agoNo, I'm comparing the 75 million living Millenials to the 79 million peak population of the Boomers. But I repeat myself. I also disagree that a ~5% difference would be likely to drive significant differences in crime rates. Later: Yes, that Millenials are a smaller percentage of the population would complicate the comparison.
