Crime rates are a prime battlefield for culture wars.
The fact that talk about crime rates is usually an attack on progressive policies usually means progressives usually also respond in an ACKSHUALLY manner followed by a wall of anarchist crime theory which must account for all (not just some) of any disparity, because if it does not then you have stabbed your own side in the back.
Whatever you think about Elizier Yudowsky, I think he hit this one right on the nail.
