"dramatic drop in crime rates"

[X-Files]

"“Across the United States and around the world, a positive byproduct of these unprecedented events is a dramatic drop in crime rates,” writes Felson, co-authoring with Ben Stickle, a professor at Middle Tennessee State University.

"...What did change — suddenly and significantly — are the routine activities of huge swaths of people, almost globally, and crime rates dropped by double digits almost immediately. The routine activity theory suggests it’s because lockdowns prevent capable offenders from meeting worthwhile targets or shifts guardianship, such as from offices and businesses to homes."

"...“Since July, as the province re-opens and things start to get back to the new normal, we are seeing crime on the rise back to historical levels.”

Nine of 10 large U.S. cities have had more murders this year compared with last year at this time, and murder has tended to accelerate since the start of the pandemic.

No link or source? Here's what you left out:

"In large cities across America, murders are up sharply, while other violent crimes have decreased."

"Overall crime is down 5.3 percent in 25 large American cities relative to the same period in 2019, with violent crime down 2 percent."

"...Homicides usually rise in the summer, which coincided this year with many people emerging from pandemic lockdown. In one recent weekend in Chicago, 14 people were killed and at least 106 people were shot, the most in eight years.

"And as The New York Times reported recently: “It has been nearly a quarter century since New York City experienced as much gun violence in the month of June as it has seen this year.” (On Sunday, there were at least nine killings in the city.)"
