Yes. It is funny perception. Local talk radio makes it sound like today is a war zone and ignores the 80s/90s/00s

"Parents don't parent or discipline"
"when I was a kid parents used the switch"
"I cannot go downtown anymore with the crime"
"I won't go to Red's game it is too dangerous"
"Kids today just don't care about life"
"when i was a kid we walked around downtown with no worries"

Violent crime is falling everywhere (with the exception of FoxNews and RW media) - By Cincywolve August 11, 2026 at 09:53:21 AM
- So I was just fed an article on this from a RW source. It credited Flock. I think the next pivot is to “actually, a police state is good”* - By Voltron Blue August 11, 2026 at 10:32:26 AM
  - Flock is so completely full of shit. Omni Consumer Products, but real life. They're actually working on armed first-responder drones. It's insane that any Dem would ever support them (or, more accurately, be bribed by them)** - By Brad August 11, 2026 at 11:21:55 AM

- It’s down just as much in jurisdictions and states that implemented significant criminal legal reforms as others* - By Brad August 11, 2026 at 10:12:24 AM
- Isn’t that a much longer trend (like, 40 years)? - By Craig August 11, 2026 at 09:56:30 AM
  - This was covered in the book Freakanomics about 20 years ago - By Rich August 11, 2026 at 10:09:52 AM
    - getting lead out of gasoline and paint another big factor in the huge drop since 70s/80s* - By ricomontoya August 11, 2026 at 10:46:29 AM

    - Studies have repeatedly shown that Americans almost always believe violent crime is rising, even when it's at historic lows. The media ("if it bleeds, it leads") and politicians are squarely to blame** - By Brad August 11, 2026 at 11:34:12 AM
