The declining trend in violent crime began several years before the 1994 crime bill. Same is true for Broken Windows policing in NYC. You can’t validly claim that either the fed law or local policy caused the decline.

There is very little good comprehensive argument for the precipitous decline in violent crime in the early 1990s Barry Latzer's book attempts one; i think its probably better than most of what has come before but isn't the last word on the subject https://www.amazon.com/Rise-Fall-Violent-Crime-America/dp/159403835X …

And it has some of the strongest gun laws and one of the highest percentages of non-native-born residents among major US cities - imagine that!

So much of the criticism of the Crime Bill is just B.S. 2nd guessing. Even beyond the level of homicides in the country, the crack cocaine epidemic etc, was that these trends were going in the wrong direction for 25 straight years...the future looked terrifying

No, nationwide crime rates were declining for several years before 1994 and continued to decline on the same trajectory.

Dozens of NYC cabbies were murdered in 1993. Just let that fact sink in.
