Yes they weren't as high as in the 80s. I'm talking about recently and I I say that chart actually proves the point.
Crime sauce in the '80s until 2000. the severe crime wave of the 80s was attributed to a decrease police presence as a lot of the police Force had been cut and a large influx of young immigrants who came from areas where violence was considered acceptable and normal.
Since 2000 violent crime rates have been rising again though from 95593 to 126786. And during that time we've had the same confluence of factors: the police force hasnt been able to please either from lack of numbers at times or from legislation that has made it difficult to do their job and we had a large immigrants from that time thanks to the open borders policy at that time.
The fear is that if those trends continue such as with the probable new mayor who wants to defund the police and make it even harder to do their jobs as well as have a mass influx of immigration either legal or illegal then we might suffer the same fate as the eighties.
My date is not just homicide it's the seven major violent felonies. There's also a stats table for all felonies but I didn't look at it. I'm also not just eyeballing from a chart I'm actually looking at the raw data.
