Economic downturns also result in higher rates of crime, both violent and non-violent and we've also been in a bit of an economic downturn. I remember the murder rate in Jacksonville Florida skyrocketing during the housing crash in 2008-2009.

Instead of jumping to A caused B immediatly, time needs to pass to see if a trend occurs. The statement can be right. But there are too many variables and events that have taken place to pin-point a single cause. More than likely it is a combination of causes. But time needs to elapse and a trend to emerge.
