Arrests have decreased every year since 2006

The total prison population decreased 11% between the 2009 peak and 2019.

Reported property and violent crime rated were down 50% in 2019 compared to their 1991 peaks.

It's not so bad out there. 🙂

Wrong - This was dated from 2006.

I know it's fun to cherry pick, but it doesn't work here.

Crime rates are linked to
the age of the population.
As we,(USA) gets older, crime decreases.

Skip this turkey, McHill. He says on another post that the economy is great. Must be on something.

Prison pop is falling due mainly to adjusting of sentences for non-violent drug possession, mostly marijuana.

Many are getting out with time served.

thanks to Trump


Ahhhhh, no. Crime *statistics* is some cases may be down, but not crime itself.

1. Many Prosecutors now will not prosecute cases like minor shop lifting and drug dealing
2. In the last 2 years many prisoners were released from US jails due to COVID.

Another factor, as prisoners age they
become more expensive to care for,
and less of a danger to society.
