Why Crime Keeps Falling
- cromozome 15y agoIt has not led to more crime in America. Elsewhere in the world, countries have been invaded(not only by America), laws broken, tens of thousands of lives taken. So if WSJ's idea of the world is just America, their article is perfectly fine. But. Abroad, things are chaotic due to the economic downturn, wealth including oil and natural resources is being taken from poor countries literally under gun point. Darfur, all over Africa, the middle east, etc, crime is in their maximum ever.
- nate_meurer 15y agoThis article is specifically about America. It has nothing to do with any of the other things you mention.
- nate_meurer 15y agoA lot of interesting things in this article. - The change in policing techniques, if true, is extremely encouraging to me. - I've heard the theory about lead before, but I hadn't heard these number put to it. - Crack has been talked about a lot, of course, but the article brings up an fascinating point about the shift from crack to marijuana.
