Double digit drops in crimes like murder, robbery, and sex offenses (-9.9% for that last one, but we can round). There should be dozens of breathless above-the-fold articles on “OMG! What is Going Right? Why Do We See Such Improvement?!” But that isn’t what we will see.

ARGH! Hundreds and hundreds of words on the violence decline, and how people are still afraid of crime … … with zero—zero, ZERO—discussion of the serious role the media has played in that. Not one word. Quotes a Manhattan Inst guy on “it’s the disorder,” can’t find room for ANY introspection.
