Why is crime falling during a recession? 5 theories - The Week
1. A better-funded, more innovative police force
Large urban areas such as New York and Los Angeles have successfully experimented with new ways of policing crime in recent years, says Ashby Jones at The Wall Street Journal, leading to improved tactics nationwide. That and the $4 billion dedicated to law enforcement in the 2009 stimulus package mean the police are better-funded and smarter than ever before. However, as the recession drags on, state police budgets may be slashed.
Well, this is great news! Has there been stronger policing? Stronger sentencing? A spiritual revival? Demographic shift? Economic shift?
Has anyone analyzed these statistics in more depth?

Most of the experts believe that the new policing techniques of concentrating police in high crime areas is responsible. The theory seems right to me, but I haven't looked at the numbers closely enough to have any opinion about it myself.

How often do people actually pull a gun and prevent a crime? I really think that is fairly rare. Probably more often, either the gun remains unused, or else the gun owners are in rival gangs and someone gets killed.
Good to hear...the trend has been going on for decades
Shows our society is not a degraded as so many claim

The high end estimate is 3 million times a year. The FBI's conservative stats are about half that.

How interesting. I had no idea it would be such a large number.
