This was just the first three months in Chicago.
CHICAGO — Murders in the nation's third-largest city are up about 72%, while shootings have surged more than 88% in the first three months of 2016 compared with the same period last year, according to data released Friday by the <culink class="culinks" culang="en" href="http://curiyo.com/en/topic/Chicago Police Department" title="" style="border-bottom-width: 1px; cursor: help; z-index: 9000; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22px; border-bottom-style: dashed !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; padding: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 151, 247) !important; color: rgb(51, 51, 51) !important; background-image: inherit !important; background-attachment: inherit !important; background-color: rgb(250, 250, 250); background-size: inherit !important; background-origin: inherit !important; background-clip: inherit !important; background-position: inherit !important; background-repeat: inherit !important;">Chicago Police Department</culink>.
I'm not even sure if it has been studied but I bet you were way more likely to get away with so many crimes 25 years ago that if you tried now you would just be screwed immediately.
I mean, people used to go into banks with guns and rob them. When is the last time you saw a bank robbery on the news? Yeah, it happens but law enforcement and technology is just so sophisticated now that you're probably going to be eating a pretty big charge.
Even something like two dudes getting into a fight at a bar and 1 hits the other with a bottle, you're probably getting an assault with a deadly weapon charge because it is on 14 iPhones. Before it probably just gets chalked up to a bad night of drunken stupidity.
Why you see more identity theft, CC scams, scamming senior citizens.

This is a Vice episode from a few years ago about Camden, NJ and putting cameras everywhere. How the citizens feel about it, what the fallout is, the effects on crime. Definitely a concession of civil liberties to be on film all the time but it beats getting shot. It says 30 minutes but it is only 15, the 2nd half is another topic.

Opoid/heroin use on the rise over the last 15 years or so and I'm sure once those people are fiending they would commit a lot more crimes if they could. A lot probably see their friends/acquaintences in jail and become dissuaded pretty fast. Whereas in the 70s/80s when drugs hit cities, there was way more of a correlation with drugs/crime going up it seems like.
opioid misuse has been labeled 'an epidemic', perhaps overly dramatic? Most definitely health care professionals have to accept a good portion of the blame here.
Since 1999 overdose deaths from opioids have nearly quadrupled AND so has the amount of Rx opioids sold. During this period has the amount of PAIN experienced changed as compared to earlier times? Of course not.
