America's serious crime rate is plunging, but why?

Editors note: Maybe "street" crime has fallen because the "framers" of society, Corporations; Big Pharma, Mainstream Media, etc, have succeeded in their plan through media, meds, mis-education & mass incarceration to socially control the masses. These same mass DON'T protest the blatant corporate crimes and government corruption.
So, it is not only that violent crime has fallen, activism has also fallen, while Corporate and Government crimes have risen. White-collar crime is up, pays more and affects more people. Maybe new laws of punishment should be minted for corporate & government crime, but that will never happen since the criminals are controlling the farm.
Then again, maybe it is the lull before the storm?

"If you look at the homicide statistics from major cities in 1990 they're absolutely appalling. I think the reaction of the legislatures at the time was to say three strikes and you're out, mandatory minimums, you have to actually serve the time. They were responding to what was in front of them which was an epidemic of violence and I think to some extent they were right," he said.
"You can make the case that mass incarceration hastened the end of the crime wave. You would have a much more difficult time making the case that a continuation of that mass incarceration is necessary. The benefit from preventing crime, since crime rates are so much lower, is a lot smaller than it used to be and the costs continue to go up. We're investing more and more in prison and getting a smaller and smaller return."
But the public may not share that view. A recent poll showed most Americans feel crime is still getting worse.  | The Guardian
