Crime isn’t at a 20-year high, but concern about it is. Partly prospect theory (getting worse/better matters, not just overall level), and part reminds me that the US murder rate was higher in the 1980s but people thought it was higher in the ‘90s. In the ‘90s, more murder on TV.https://twitter.com/ABC/status/1410904505340895233 …
Did they decriminalize murder or rape? This is about violent crime . . .

Is it? Then why do the data sets of the graphs state "crime" and "violent crime" contradictorily? Why did he use the word "often" and why use 2016 data rather than current event data which is that crime (not just violent crime) is rising recently in face of decriminalization?

It isn't contradictory, violent crime is a subset of crime. Your quibble should be for the chart to use the general "crime" stat. Perhaps, but this does not disprove the hypothesis.
