So the murder rate is still above 2019 levels. All of those people who are worried about crime must be morons who have fallen for misinformation, clearly.
But still under pre-'93 levels. Crime has fallen steadily in the US since '93, and although we have had a pop since iirc 2016, we never reached pre '93 levels during it, and now that pop seems to be slowing down.
Anyone that’s younger than around 40 were kids in 1993 and not really paying attention to national crime statistics. If they were born yet at all.
I was born in 91, and I’m now in my 30s with kids of my own in school. I don’t give a shit what the crime rate was when I was two, I care about what it is now. I keep up with things and know that the increase from 2019-2021 was largely Covid related and it’s decreasing again, but the vast majority of people don’t pay that much attention, and to them crime is absolutely up since a few years ago.

Which is largely irrelevant to most people today.
