Can you explain, in your own words, how that responds to the point above?
The post above claims that homicide rates started to go up "during the previous administration" (i.e., before January 2021) / "in the summer of 2020." The article you're linking is from May 2021, and talking about decarceration, not homicide rates. That seems like it cannot possibly be evidence for the claim that decarceration causes increased homicide rates.
- newbamboo 5y ago“ The inmate population has dropped by more than 21,000 from the roughly 117,000 in state prisons before the coronavirus pandemic” I know correlation is not causation but homicides tend to be committed by criminals — ie those with one or more prior in offenses. I agree nbc is pretty terrible at reporting and apologize for posting them rather than a reputable source but google gave me that so I posted it.
