They're wrong.It's up since Obama ascended the throne.Clinton is right about crime. It is way down compared to the past.
Link?
actually, i'm just finishing Freakonomics. It's their position that the drop in crime in the 80's was the result of legalized abortion.
just an aside.
except that they're not. follow along.... women forced to have children they don't want are usually too young and uneducated. (otherwise they'd have been able to afford to travel to get an abortion). unwanted children born to poor mothers have a high rate of criminality.
they were able to measure whether the drop was causal or correlative and found that states where abortion was legalized before roe v wade had their crime rates drop the same number of years subsequent to legalization.... which was exactly when those unwanted children would have reached the age at which criminal behavior is at its highest.
