More specifically, violent crime (murder especially, regardless of implement used) peaked almost everywhere in the world between 1991 and 1996, then began declining. This excludes places where wars have started, or other major calamities.

So, kids born in 1972 would've been 21 in 1993, which is peak age for violent crime. Younger kids were more likely to be born to parents who wanted them, thus were raised better. Crime starts to fall. But that's not all.
