The conditions that contribute rise or fall of crime rates are still not well understood. It was only within recent decades that leaded gasoline was found to be responsible for ~30% of violence in the world after after the Second World War, with the two World Wars and various other conflicts during the Cold War contributing; if you grow up in an environment in which mass societal violence has taken place, it becomes normative. American cities have seen rapid declines in crime since 1991, with Rural U.S. seeing an increase in crime and what social scientists call excess deaths (drug overdoses, suicides, Cirrhosis of the Liver, death by misadventure usually involving alcohol or other substances). De-industrialization also contributed to much of the crime rates seen after 1945. Most interestingly Roe V. Wade has also been thought to contribute to reductions in crime; 1990ish is when the first children who would have grown up in adverse circumstances would have come of age, and Roe was 1973, ever wonder why the U.S. hit zero population growth around that time?

Leaded gasoline? What?

Crime is caused by economic inequality and not much more than that.

Abortion is murder so using murder to stop murder defeats the point.
