I'm pretty sure something significant happened late 2019, but I can't quite recall what.
I wonder if the spike in murder rate is connected with domestic abuse. During the pandemic, there was no escape for people who were in danger.
Yeah, that's pretty much what I was aiming for. Include financial desperation and mass death due to COVID and you have a powder keg.
Well in that case I guess it's OK that 4 years later the murder rate remains elevated. I keep forgetting that Because The Pandemic is a valid excuse for literally everything.
Nope, it’s a possible explanation for why there was a spike and why that spike is receding.
