[QUOTE="Suburban Yahoo, post: 1491951, member: 21860"] What's interestingly different about crime today is it's happening in a hardened society, relative to the 60s. In the 60s America was a soft target, gradually over 30 years (until crime peaked in 1992ish and started dropping) Americans bought guns by the truckload and installed alarm systems, developed a private security army, set up gated communities, etc. I'm thinking that was not all to the good, but they do increase resistance to criminal activities. So the crime increase so far seems to be in the areas still soft: urban lib areas. [/QUOTE]
