[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There were 222 homicides in 2021, which was the most since 2003. So yes, it’s factually accurate to say that violent crime is approaching 1990s levels based on current trends. [/quote]

I lived here in the 90s. We had 400 plus misters a year and fewer people. [/quote]
The homicide rate went down to a remarkable low of 88 in 2012 before rising almost three fold to 226 in just nine years. At this rate, it will be back to 400 within a decade.[/quote]

What were we doing in 2012 that we are not doing today?[/quote]

Ramsey didn’t have to deal with a demographic youth boom.  I would guess much of this issue has demographics at the root more than policy.[/quote]
Say what? The largest age cohort are Millennials. The median Millennial was about 25 in 2012, which is prime crime age and Millennials were teens to early 20s throughout the entire period that the murder rate was steeply declining.[/quote]
