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 …
And current crime numbers are not available, if you use FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data, the latest report available is 2019.https://www.fbi.gov/services/cjis/ucr/ …

Well then how did the original poster conclude that "crime isn't at a 20-year high"? Strange.

Oh, because you think nothing counts except this years statistics? Really?
