I find Lead-crime hypothesis interesting, as well as increased policing, mass urbanization, blue collar office work.
But I also find several other reasons who might explain fall of aggression: Abundance of porn! TV/Computers/Internet/Smartphones enabled more porn in aggressive male population. If I'm right, then we must see lowered testosterone levels in male population and Less change of aggression in females in the same period. Or check if lead hypothesis enabled females to have same level of lower aggression.

Better-off areas have long since been mitigated or can afford to maintain their buildings to prevent chips from lying around.
