Crime has been declining for years. It just dropped more because we’re over the pandemic crime surge.

Part of the reason, researchers say, is that the nation is over the hump of the pandemic.

During 2020 and 2021, homicide rates surged across the U.S. Now the nation is simply on the other side of that surge.

Gosh, who was it that was so incompetent or evil, they caused that surge?

Don’t worry, the current administration will also take full credit for the crime drop, and use it as an excuse for more shitty crackdowns.
