I'm talking across the industrialized world. The availability of the internet and other 'pacification networks' may be a contributing factor but it's clearly not the driving force.
- EGreg 13y agoWell violence in Britain started to go down a decade later than in the USA, so your time frame counterexample doesn't work for that.
- vacri 13y agoIt could still be the main driving force, and it just so happened that an associated force or two started a little earlier.
- RyanMcGreal 13y agoBut violence has been declining steadily for the past 400 years. Something other than the internet must be behind that.
- EGreg 13y agoNo, it was all the internet! :) But seriously ... I think that, although before it was not the internet, now the internet has accelerated it.
