Last I saw, violent crime in the US is as low as it was when I was a kid in the early 70's - down like 40% from its peak in the early 90's. It would drop even further if America would give up on our second attempt at prohibition - the long-ago-lost "war on drugs". There is no good correlation between crime and the economy, going back to before the Great Depression.
