I always thought the drop on violent crime was because of the ban on leaded gasoline.

It's a good theory and one that I bought into as well but the statistics should have stayed down if that was the cause. Since they didn't there must have been another factor.

I think they jumped back up because of the lockdowns

Unfortunately Violent and Firearm Crime statistics started climbing again in 2015. The pandemic may have played a role but it cannot be the cause.

🤔 So what happened in the mid to late '10's to cause it? Maybe it was the rise of Trump.
