Bob Burdon's Atlanta Storage Unit theft 2 2

I'm responding to homelessness being brought up at all as it has been several times, not just here. It isn't my intent to mischaracterize anyone else's intent.

Homelessness, crime, theft, attacks, addiction, suicide, killings. Everything is through the roof.

 

 

I thought that data on crimes generally show a decline since highs in the 90s, especially on a per capita basis.

Edit: I see that others have made the same point.

I suppose that depends on how the crimes are characterized or better put, "recharacterized" since things we called oranges 30 years ago are no longer oranges, if you follow my meaning. 

If you talk to one group, they're telling you crime is through the roof. You talk to another side and they tell you that it's on a down slope. 

I just know that in my little, personal circle I've seen more drugs / crime / guns / homelessness / strife / suicide / overdoses around me than I've ever had before. 

And that's me in my circle. Not social media feeding it to me. 

If you have statistics to share feel free to. It's certainly and interesting discussion on whether there is more crime or less.

I'm so glad you agree with me.

Speaking for NYC which I know very well, homicides are about double (600-700) in recent years what they were at their pre-pandemic lows (about 300-350), but still only a third of what they were at their highs in the early 1990s (about 2200).  I believe NYC statistically still rates as one of the safest big cities in the country on a per capita basis despite the over-reporting of crime here due to the large media market.
