    Violent crime isn’t all crime though. If someone sees discarded needles every day on the street, they aren’t that greatful when you say “at least you weren’t mugged.”

    If you can’t leave packages at your front door, you don’t care as much that there was only 1 drive by shooting in the area.

    You won’t get stabbed on the subway, but you will get a scam call and 3 scam texts on your ride.

      Violent crime isn’t the only crime that results in violence either.

      Road deaths and injuries are way up and prosecution for killing someone with a car is constantly excused and dismissed even as people get more negligent (screen use) and risky behind the wheel.
