US Violent Crime

Violent crime in the US has been cut in half over the past 26 years. It will continue to decline if we continue to eradicate drug gangs that are the primary source of most violent crime.

Other crimes are also declining primarily due to the preponderance of surveillance cameras ensuring the certainty of catching criminals.
