the state of crime 2019


We've always been fascinated in crime - especially the more bloody and gruesome:
Jay Doubleyou: film noir
Jay Doubleyou: why are we so obsessed with murder?

But 'crime' is also a very political thing:
Social Conservatives’ Obsession with Crime | how to save the world

For example, how you feel about punishment... or about foreigners committing more crime:
Jay Doubleyou: crime and punishment

Or about crime being on the increase - although that's actually 'white collar' crime:
Jay Doubleyou: crime statistics - and the perception of crime

Or how you feel about human nature - and whether we are 'naturally' prone to crime:
Jay Doubleyou: a history of violence: another look at how violent we are
Jay Doubleyou: a history of violence part two

Or whether you feel the police are actually useful, or not:
Jay Doubleyou: debate: why do we need the police?

This is all part of a bigger picture of course:
