Quote from an Atlantic article comparing Nixon’s electorate to Trump’s, “The overall violent-crime rate increased by more than 50 percent just from 1964 to 1968, en route to doubling by the early 1970s. Robberies per person more than doubled from 1960 to 1968. The murder rate soared by 40 percent from 1964 to 1968; by 1972, it was nearly 85 percent higher than in 1964.” Curious to learn more about the causes of the crime rate increases.
