- roryisok 9y agoI think there's more to it than that.
- pimmen 9y agoThat doesn’t explain why crime is going down across the US and the EU too. Correlation does not equal causation.
- vim_wannabe 9y agoI was talking more about the philosophical side of things, what with laws often being cultural norms in writing. So when you have multiple different norms things can get ugly and misunderstandings happen. In some countries they are looking into introducing multiple different laws to alleviate this. Obviously a big part of crime comes out of desperation (hunger) which might be going down as you say.
