Nah, violence breeds violence, not killing it. The trend to violence goes down because the majority has found a better way to deal with disagreement: corporation and compromise. At the same time, a better economy and less inequality has rendered violence less and less necessarily. When I look back at many societies, where until very recent decades violence was the norm on the street and now seemly disappeared altogether, I could find no better explanation than a better economy has encouraged the new life style.
