@TrentTelenko @grok Once again, Trent, when you stray from your area of expertise you generate smoke and misunderstanding rather than insight. There is a lot more than improved trauma response going on in the drop in murder rates, though to be sure trauma care does play a role. 1/
@TrentTelenko @grok We can gain insight into this by examining crime and criminal justice broadly, rather than focusing on one crime - murder - and one factor - trauma care.

@TrentTelenko @grok targeted enforcement, community stabilization and social support efforts all have played a role.
We can also see, not just a drop in murder rates, but a drop in a wide variety of other crimes. 3/counciloncj.org/whats-driving-…

@TrentTelenko @grok Using FBI data, we can see that violent crime (murder, non-negligent homicide, rape, robbery, aggravated assault) all have dropped.
So there is a broad drop in violent crime, not just murder.ourworldindata.org/us-crime-rates

@TrentTelenko @grok Everything from lead paint removal (and therefore less developmental lead poisoning) to abortion availability (fewer unwanted children in unprepared homes) to an aging population (young guys being the dumbest group on the planet - Jackass the Movie was a documentary) 7/
@TrentTelenko @grok ...might have played roles in these decades long trends. The only "mystery" is why people think crime's going up. That's not a mystery, but it's a different story.
