@palepride7530 I'm not sure what era you're referring to, but crime in the US started increasing in the mid-20th century, before peaking around 1990 or so. There's been an upswing in homicide rates since the pandemic, but it's still well below the peak. The same is true for most crimes like this, lurid reporting notwithstanding.
