Speculation over why US crime stats are recording falls

[Al B. Sure!]

He confused "violent crime" with "serious crimes". Big deal. There's no need to be so anal about it...

Battle not with monsters lest you become a monster.

I have noticed I've been increasingly rude lately. The ghetto psychology of imitating one's surroundings that I referenced in the above post apparently is catching me here on Apolyton where I'm mimicking the behavior of the *******s like you, KH, etc.

Why are female criminals so rare? Are they immune to the effects of crack?

Female crack cocaine usage rates are actually higher than male rates. Females are far less likely to be involved in distribution and, when addicts, are less likely to commit violent crimes than their male counterparts. Prostitution (and petty theft) is more likely.

[Al B. Sure!]

Yup. Backing me up:

"Women drug offenders are more likely than their male counterparts to be nonviolent (typically charged for drug possession, prostitution, and petty larceny), more often tested positive for drug use in general, and with no criminal history or involvement in high-level drug trafficking... Whereas men dominate drug selling and participate in a wide variety of street crimes, women most often restrict their activities to a few property and vice crimes."

It goes on to mention "hustling" () strategies such as prostitution and shop-lifting.

Not very far from DC and Baltimore either. That's kind of mind boggling.

I'm going to guess they're recording falls because the falls were caused by the person in question being pushed, and suffering significant injury as a consequence. Or else the situation had the potential to cause significant injury, but didn't. Otherwise there's no point to recording falls as crime stats in the first place.

So anyway, I'm pretty sure it has to do with the decline in crack combined with other outlets for youth rather than running the streets (video games)... throw in the higher incarceration rate (which I'm sure the prison population is overwhelmingly repeat offenders) and case closed

Is alby criticizing me for my hometown's low crime rate? I don't get it...

It's like another planet. Your life experiences are so foreign to the experiences of all other Americans. I just hope you are aware of that before you make the decisions you make, decide what you believe, decide who you vote for, etc.

All other Americans? I didn't grow up in a ghetto

[Berzerker]

the property crime rate in 2004 is double the rate 4 decades earlier, and that 2004 rate is a low point we hadn't seen since 1970 - look at the property crime rates from Nixon thru Bush. Jesus, another failure of the drug war we dont hear about from prohibitionists
