a 50% rise in murder rate represent thousands of people I don't think we should discount it. I also think the rise in theft that people talk about anecdotally effects how people feel about living in cities. The us accepts a very large amount of disorder and that effects the overall trust in the society.
Just an FYI. Crime is awful. If your poor and your stuff gets stolen that devastating having to pay more to secure you belongings is a real burden. Nothing makes an area poor like crime. The single most valuable things governments do is law and order the fact that we forgot that in 2020 should be distressing to everyone.
- DinoDad13 3y agoWe didn't forget that in 2020. An increase in crime is a pretty normal side effect of a global pandemic. We are lucky that it stayed so tame despite police not doing their jobs because they are pissy about having some accountability.
- sabarn01 3y agoThe UK did not experience a surge in murders despite also experiencing a pandemic. https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/countries/GBR/united-kingdom/murder-homicide-rate#:~:text=U.K.%20murder%2Fhomicide%20rate%20for%202020%20was%201.00%2C%20a,2018%20was%201.14%2C%20a%207.19%25%20decline%20from%202017 https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/countries/GBR/uni....
