Honestly most forms of violence in the U.S. have been dropping for a long time now. We can and should do better, but we’re not far off the rest of the developed world in terms of violent crime. The only areas where we really stand out are
- Number of gun deaths
- Number of people killed by police (lots of overlap with item #1 there)
- Number of people in prison (these are the lucky ones who evaded item #2)
