The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Dope1: Let's look at more recent stuff, so population variances aren't a thing.

Why? If anything, way more people -- including all those new-to-the-city criminal migrants -- should equal way more crime; but it's just the opposite.

Plus, you copied the wrong data for "robbery"; you copied "felony assault" instead.

But I believe albaby1's point is that in the Grand Old Days of his honor Giuliani, crime was WAY WORSE.

                   OFFENSE

MURDER & NON-NEGL. MANSLAUGHTER 2000: 673 | 2023: 391

RAPE 2000: 2,068 | 2023: 1,455

ROBBERY 2000: 32,562 | 2023: 16,910

FELONY ASSAULT 2000: 25,924 | 2023: 27,876

BURGLARY 2000: 38,352 | 2023: 13,773

GRAND LARCENY 2000: 49,631 | 2023: 50,586

GRAND LARCENY OF MOTOR VEHICLE 2000: 35,442 | 2023: 15,795

So, murder, rape, robbery, and burglary are significantly less today than in 2000 and auto theft is less than half today than it was in 2000. Felony assault is less than 10% higher today and grand larceny is about the same today as in 2000, a few percent higher.
