Greater participation of women in society lead to fall in crime
- jjackson5324 3y agoYeah, definitely no confounding factors in this analysis!
- lifeisstillgood 3y agoSee about 17 minutes in The gist is that violent crime has been falling internationally- so things like increased wealth or even the freakonomics idea of abortion, just don’t fit all countries But female participation does, women going out drinking tends to decrease the violent male out playing. The crimes that are increasing are crimes against women - one more indicator Fascinating
- NotGMan 3y ago>> But female participation does, women going out drinking tends to decrease the violent male out playing. The reason why women go out more IS because there is less crime. Where crime increases due to immigration women are afraid to go out alone.
- lifeisstillgood 3y agoOh come on - this is a decades long movement across multiple countries and generations - feeling safer “downtown” is nice but is noise in the overall long term trend I doubt there is one single explanation for “less crime” internationally but if there is a top 3 list this is a serious contendor - more so than abortion, and probably better than wealthier society
