Anyone that’s younger than around 40 were kids in 1993 and not really paying attention to national crime statistics. If they were born yet at all.
I was born in 91, and I’m now in my 30s with kids of my own in school. I don’t give a shit what the crime rate was when I was two, I care about what it is now. I keep up with things and know that the increase from 2019-2021 was largely Covid related and it’s decreasing again, but the vast majority of people don’t pay that much attention, and to them crime is absolutely up since a few years ago.
Which is largely irrelevant to most people today.
