If people aren’t panicked, they wouldn’t elect panic-pandering politicians, so there must always be a panic — crime, drugs, commies, libruls, etc.

    Well property crimes are up considerably. More poverty is correlated obviously. These are the types of crime most people are exposed to so it is unsurprising that perception of crime frequency is increasing. On a side note perhaps violent crime is decreasing as the population ages. Violent crime is negatively correlated with an aging population.
