Violent Crime At 30-Year Low

October 5, 2005 | ISSUE 41•40

Statistics indicate that the violent-crime rate in the U.S. is at its lowest point in 30 years. What do you think?

  • Violent crime is down largely due to the use of tasers, which when used properly, are considered not violent, but 'humorous' crimes.

  • It's no wonder. With the unattainable standards set by violence in the media, no one wants to try to compete.

  • As much as I'd like to contest this new statistic, it's just not worth being tried for 426 counts of murder.
