Why do crime researchers who should know better continue to mistake correlation for causation? If you type out the sentence “but the results are not as strong as the correlational data suggest,” maybe you should stop there.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me?
Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

In my dissertation (working on revising this chapter into a journal article atm) I address some of the issues John discusses in this thread. Here’s a teaser on what policies US adults said would most improve their personal safety from a wider selection of policies typically on public safety polls.

The CDC has now released provisional data on the nation's homicide rate through all of 2024. The data's subject to change, but homicide was down ~12.5% in the CDC data in 2024, largely returning to 2019's level.

It’s worse than “Gaza is being starved and destroyed and no one cares.” It’s that hundreds of millions *do* care and are powerless to stop it. We need a world where that can never happen, where the masses actually have political power.

It's not just the US murder rate that is likely at or near the lowest level ever recorded. The data from the first 4 months of 2025 points to the possibility of the lowest reported property crime rate ever & lowest violent crime rate in decades.

Stay tuned for an article from me on the public safety opinion landscape in the US. There are layers to people’s preferences around public safety policy, and it makes for maps that look like this and defy people’s assumptions.

If there is that deep dive, I’d also love to hear from the people closest to the violence about what they think is behind the decline, not just city officials. Neighbors, but thinking especially of violence interrupters, victim advocates, street outreach, and hospital intervention staff.

Double digit drops in crimes like murder, robbery, and sex offenses (-9.9% for that last one, but we can round). There should be dozens of breathless above-the-fold articles on “OMG! What is Going Right? Why Do We See Such Improvement?!” But that isn’t what we will see.
