Exploring Factors Influencing Murder Rates
The chapter discusses the complex influences on murder rates, examining variables like poverty, bail reform, police numbers, and prosecutor attitudes. It challenges the assumption that increasing police numbers always reduces murder rates and debates the impact of prosecution rates on crime trends. The conversation also touches on societal issues such as poverty, racial inequality, and recent events like George Floyd's murder in relation to crime rates.
