Murders are low, but the knowledge of them remains at its all-time high. So people think it’s bad because they’re hearing of murders on the other side of the country that they’d never know about half a century ago.

Vibes strike again. Barring some exceptions, the perception of an issue supersedes its ground reality.

Cameras have become more widespread than ever obviously people are going to get a lot less tolerant of the “standard” level of American crime. Even then, ghettoes and petty crime should not be acceptable, America’s crime rates are far above the rest of the developed world.
Democrats have to address these concerns, with real an effective policies not just waving it off with statistics and virtue signals.

“crime down” is a very different statement from “crime doesn’t exist anymore” but people insist on treating them as the same thing.

The number of murders on the subway was the highest it’s been in decades. It’s not just the overall number it’s randomness in which they can occur and where they’re happening.
