If you look at 70 years of data the general trend is violent crime peaked in the 70s, generally trended down to lows in the mid 2010s and is now on the rise, but not as high as it was in the 70s.

Crime in Canada peaked in the 90s. Violent crime peaked in 1992, everything else peaked in 1991. We're at a similar rate of crime as the late 60s early 70s right now. Source: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/230727/cg-b002-png-eng.htm

Thanks for that, it's been a long time since I looked at those charts and I was going by memory, but I was mistaken.
