You have changed the topic from the overall homicide rate to a survey you wont link or even name. I offered speculation but in truth I didn't need to respond to your strategic digression. I do not know if my theory is correct. I DO know you haven't shown one whit of proof that 2020s overall murder rate was higher. I will continue until you do to operate under the assumptions. - it represents a small increase in the 2020 homicide rate that doesn't change the national situation. The proper topic of our discussion. - Given a 27 year trend line an increase at a time when our nation is going through a time of extreme crisis logically represents an aberration not a trend. America isn't meaningfully more dangerous on average than it was in the 50s although it was in the 50s and is now more dangerous than some of our more civilized neighbors. * Edited for clarity and correctness*
