Basically nobody really knows why it’s happening...https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/01/chicago-homicide-spike-2016/514331/ …
And maybe even lower lead exposure.
But there's still the prison industrial complex, including the largest prison population on earth by incarcerated per capita. And economic divergence.
Could it possibly be that crime falls -because- so many criminals remain incarcerated?
Ahhh, fresh set of job opportunities may be responsible also. Ever thought of that?

IMO, violent crime rates alone aren’t the ideal index for measuring the health and vitality of urban communities. There are too many factors shaping US police and crime problems that can’t be assuaged by cyclical dips in violent crime.
