FBI Reports Lowest US Violent Crime Rates Since 1978

The article points to video camera...and that may be a factor, but the correlation left leaning media will never point out...

because that would be a made up correlation for which there is no evidence.

if your assertion were true, the red states wouldn't be the most dangerous states.

Those aren't Red States, those are the Blackest and Brownest states.

It is as obvious as the correlation between declining crime and abortion.

blacker and browner than NY?

i doubt it, but thanks for the racist assessment.

and, i assume, by extension, your disagreement with the premise of the o/p.

Dem policies in general; as abortions went up, crime went down.

No! Crime did not fall when abortion went up. November 7, 1991, basketball legend Earvin "Magic" Johnson shocked the world by announcing he tested positive for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Within 2 months the number of people getting tested for aids was up 50%. Illegitimate birth rates dropped within 9 months due to gestation period after all the multiple partner unprotected sex stopped. Heroin & other injected drug use that had been soaring since 1960 slowed their accent. No businessman, scientist, political policy or abortion had any positive affect on these social problems until Magic scared the riffraff straight.

Single parents & crime has soared since 1960s due to the marriage penalty. The way to wipe out the marriage penalty is simply tax married couples as if each spouse were a single person earning half the total family income. This "income splitting" approach was the law in the U.S. until it was repealed in 1969. That is when erosion of society began. You can see the change in marriage & divorce rates.

Chicago Gun Ban Overturned 2014

When does the 2014 statistical year end?

It ends in 45 days. Those Chicago thugs had best step up their killing, or they will make Rahm Emanuel & the gun grabbers look bad.

You're right...not long.
Who knows what the statistics might say at the end of that time.

The Three-Year Plunge
To help gauge each city’s overall crime level, the FBI tracks eight “index crimes.” From 1993 to 2010, Chicago’s annual total dropped by 47 percent. But from 2010 to 2013, it dropped a stunning 56 percent, or nearly 19 percent per year, according to data from the Chicago Police Department.

Garry McCarthy, who became police chief in May 2011, accomplished that huge reduction in part by changing how certain crimes are categorized.

The Truth About Chicago s Crime Rates Chicago magazine May 2014

Your link is to a categorize change that happened 3 or 4 years ago to help Rahm Emanuel look good. That in no way explains away the facts after the Chicago gun ban was overturned, crime in 2014 plummets far below 2011, 2012 & 2013 rates that were categorized the same way as 2014.

Was ending the gun ban in Chicago responsible for lower crime in NYC too? Thread fail!

You idiots try to obfuscate the facts. Shootings in New York City has spiked by 13 percent so far this year. Gun control increases crime! CCW lowers crime! They are not the only way to lower crime or the best way, but they do in fact lower crime. Reducing unwanted pregnancy, single parent households, divorce, drug addiction, poverty, gangs, adding education, castle doctrine, SYG & broken window policing all lower crime rates.

This is good news, unless you're a progressive. Less ammunition to push the Agenda with, and that's far more important than lowering crime levels.

The info mining is interesting but not compelling.

Much more work needs to be done.

Most of the new gun sales go to clownish chickenshits that already had 20 buried under their trailers. We know this because less homes have a gun in them than 20 years ago.

There are more NRA instructors being trained, and more NCIS background checks, all of them aren't for previous owners...

The survey they did that alleges that there are less guns now was a phone survey....so what they want you to believe is that people who own guns and know that registration leads to banning and confiscation are going to tell a stranger on the phone that they actually own guns........right....and that people who own guns now are going to be even more forth coming....after the NSA scandal, the IRS scandal and the democrats pushing for more and more gun control....right....and people have gone to court to prevent doctors from asking their patients that very question....right....after connecticut has passed a law to force people to register guns....right....

So don't tell us fewer people own guns....more people are getting smarter about not admitting they have guns...so when the grabbers finally have another massacre with dead bodies they can drag in front of the media and get stupid, ineffective and punitive gun laws passed....the grabbers won't know who has the guns....

More idiots try to obfuscate the facts. This has nothing to do with owning a gun. It's about citizens being allowed to carry & use guns to stop criminals. Forcing people to keep their gun at home where kids can play with it or criminals can steal it is just stupid law.

Bingo. And when they accidentally kill someone it isn't counted as a violet crime.
