Are we doing something right to mitigate the underlying causes or did ee get lucky

A lot has to be post pandemic normalization

Just the craziness of life and unrest unwinding.

In a lot of big cities lead exposure in childhood for current 20 somethings is still declining. With that and a demographic drop-in young people we may just be in for a secular decline in crime

What will be interesting to compare is how cities that went harm reduction vs law and order fared. The wide range of crime responses will probably give material for PHD theses for a decade at least.
