Crime is falling sharply across the United States
Original: The great crime decline is happening all across the country
Crime rates are dropping nationwide, continuing a broad decline that spans cities and regions alike. Commentators are highlighting that the improvement is not limited to a few big cities but is a countrywide trend, prompting debate over what is driving it and why public perception of crime has not kept pace with the data.
Why now: A major publication's argument that the crime decline is national in scope has reignited debate over crime trends and public perception.
