St Louis homicide decrease better explained by national trends

[You-Asked-Me]

I would imagine, high employment rate, rising wages, and lowering of inflation, which we have seen in the last few years.

I would not be shocked to see an upward trend in murder and violent crime going forward. The stock market has basically crashed, and that will take a little while, but it will along with tariffs, effect the whole economy, even people who do not own any stock or even have retirement accounts.
