Or there just aren't as many young people.
- Someone 9y agoOr the police became less efficient over time (extreme model: all 20 year old criminals used to get caught, but now only 5% of them do) or prison sentences got longer over time (most criminals get less criminal as they get older. A simple model has only people under 50 getting prison sentences. If those all used to get sentenced to 10 years, but nowadays get sentenced to 20 years, the number of over 60 year old prisoners went up from zero)
