Straight Line of the Day: Why have homicide rates declined?
Homicide Is Declining Around the World – But Why?
Phys.org / November 4, 2019Americans are currently living in one of the lowest crime periods ever — and so are many people in the rest of the world.
Following decades of increasing crime during the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s, U.S. homicide rates declined by almost 40% throughout the 1990s, and have remained low since.
Most explanations of this extraordinary decline in violence put forth by politicians and early academic research focus on events and domestic policies exclusive to the United States. However, emerging studies are providing evidence that this crime decline is not unique to the U.S., but rather occurring across most of the world.
