    [quote=temeculaguy][quote=svelte][quote=EconProf]Along these lines….many people wrongly buy into the idea that recessions cause crime. But your cited facts belie that conclusion, as crime rates are thankfully falling most everywhere. The national crime rate was unusually low during the Great Depression of the 1930s.[/quote]

    This intrigues me…why do crime rates fall during recessions/depressions? It does seem counter-intuitive.[/quote]

    svelte, I dont think Econ was asserting that recessions/depressions cause crime to fall, just that they do not cause it to rise, which people tend to believe. It is logical, just not factual. The last ten years of falling crime rates can mostly be attributed to technology. [/quote]

    Well, he said the crime rate was unusually low during the Great Depression, so I think he was saying recessions/depressions cause it to fall.

    Maybe folks get out less when they have no money so they have less opportunity to commit crime? I dunno.

    But I do agree with your assertion that technology is decreasing crime.

    I have this theory that technology creates opportunity for crime, which gets resolved through even better technology.

    Example: autos encouraged mobility which probably increased bank robberies, rapes, and obviously auto theft. Technology has now reduced those through security cameras, DNA testing, and Lojack like devices among other things.

    [quote=paramount][quote=pri_dk]You live in an urban area with close to a quarter of a million people. And you think there is a high crime rate because there has been 2 rapes in the past three years? Good luck finding someplace safer.[/quote]

    No, (2) rapes in the center of our single neighborhood. Plus one stabbing and last year a shooting.

    To many gang fights to count, not to mention drug trafficking/dealing.

    Again, just in our hood.[/quote]

    I am more afraid of the mountain Lyons I believe inhabit the area behind my house, I am kind of surprised they have not picked off any of the early morning Joggers that use the trail that goes behind my home. I have not seen any but the area just looks like a good habitat for them (that’s why I do my Jogging at the gym). I have seen raccoons and quite a few coyotes.

    Anyay Sounds like you should move Paramount.

    The lions only eat the slow ones. It is a form of natural selection.
