So, we've been locking more people up, but inner-city crime has only gotten worse in your mind. In which case, the facts do not support your assertion that the situation would be ameliorated by continuing or accelerating our tendency to lock as many people up as possible. No, the facts support my assertion, it’s just that demographic shifts have impact. Some populations commit crime at greater rates than others. See above.

Murders are a small subset of violent crime in general, but even so, yes while murders are up, they are still down from when we grew up. You wouldn't know that from your cherry picked graph because you purposefully wanted to show a year over year increase, since the actual rate is still a fraction of what it was in the 90's. Also seems like the increase was correlated with something. I don't know, like maybe some sort of global event that impacted many facets of our lives, and will almost certainly regress back towards the pre-pandemic mean in the next 3-5 years.

Seems more like that's what TEW is hoping will happen. Weird.
December 8, 20223 yr Get rid of Krasner. Prosecute criminals to the fullest extent of the law. And oh yeah, stop letting felons buy guns!

Weird. lol… LMFAO even… Quote The estimated 22,900 murders and other killings last year would bring the nation’s homicide rate to 6.9 per 100,000—the highest in almost 25 years. Quote However, the FBI report—the most comprehensive picture of crime rates and trends in the U.S.—comes with a giant asterisk this year. Because the FBI switched how it collects crime data from local law enforcement agencies, up to 40% of police departments—including major ones like the New York Police Department and the Los Angeles Police Department—are missing from the report. Quote For 2021 the FBI switched its data collection system from the Summary Reporting System (SRS) to the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS). NIBRS is meant to provide even more comprehensive data, but many police departments haven’t made the switch. “[Law enforcement agencies] are not the tech industry, these are not public systems of data collection that are efficient, effective or accurate,” says Lenore Anderson, the president of the Alliance for Safety and Justice, a criminal justice non-profit that advocates for more effective public safety solutions. Data from about 11,800 law enforcement agencies is included in the 2021 data, compared to about 15,900 agencies for 2020. Reporting from departments in several states including California, New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland is limited. https://time.com/6216504/fbi-crime-report-2021/ Not only is the murder rate the highest in a generation, but the reported numbers are LOWER than the reality because all of the sh** hole liberal cities that rival war zones for death rates aren’t even reporting.

December 8, 20223 yr I'll just leave this right here... Quote Since President Richard Nixon declared the national "War on Drugs" in the 1970s, the American prison population has skyrocketed; the same is true of the numbers of people locked up in private prisons, especially since the 1990s. Over their history, private prisons have been controversial for several reasons, including in some cases their treatment of incarcerated individuals. Supporters, however, say private prison companies have shouldered some of the burden from overpopulated federal prisons. In the 2016 election cycle, private prisons gave a record $1.6 million to candidates, parties and outside spending groups. That was nearly triple what they'd given in 2014 and more than double their contributions in the 2012 presidential cycle. Most of the increase came in the form of donations to outside groups, and Geo Group was responsible for most of that: It gave $300,000 to super PACs backing various Republican presidential candidates, including one backing now-President Donald Trump.
