"Tough on Crime" is no longer en vogue in most parts of the US. That likely has a huge impact.

  Along with more cameras. Along with DNA analysis. The poor, and disenfranchised can't commit crimes. It's a negative sum game. Only the very stupid, or very despirate can take the risk. Now--the wealthy can run their white collar crimes without too much risk. It's not just white collar crime either. They can afford to drive drunk, speed, and pretty much do whatever their id spits out? They cannot pay taxes, and use that professional degree to fleece the poor, and uninformed? Hell--they can pretty much do whatever they want? They own the regulators that control the system. (I'm just pointing out that cameras, and science might have played a big part in the reduction if crime. Only the wealthy, can still play fast, and loose. And yes--I'm hard on all crime. It's too bad we can't tie fees/fines to income? We just might have a further drop in crime?)
