Violence is changing by getting a more peaceful face in order to be "legalized" and "digested". Violence is always here and it gets stronger.

    I don't know what the parent means however isn't it true that some cities in the US stopped prosecuting some crimes deemed "petty" such as theft, "hard drugs" dealing, … Which would make crime statistics lower than they really are.

      I think "under reporting crime" is not something very recent. But something that is usually not under-reported, is violent crimes like murder or assault resulting in severe injuries, because someone ends up at the morgue or in the hospital where they are definitely tracked and recorded. As far as I know this is where we are pretty much sure violence is decreasing over time.

    I mean here in Greece violence is in the workplace (you can be fired just because) in the shops (they change prices just because) in the government (takes anti social measures just because) in the people relations (people play the emotional abuse game because law has not caught up) and the decline of our civilization is a result of the increase in violence. It just takes a peaceful face because the vast majority would like to have an opportunity to exercise their dark side but would like to play safe. So the silently agree what kind of violence is acceptable or not. Violence is not acceptable in any of its forms.
