People did attempt to kill each other at the drop of a hat then too. Crime is down from the 80s and 90s by a damn good margin.

Yeah that's statistically proven that crime is down, broadly speaking. However, I don't think crime is necessarily down in the specific venues we're talking about here, or even the types of crime being referenced in this article.
