Its a crash dummy generation where they aren't mentally let alone spiritually advanced beyond the technology they use to kill themselves whether it be switches or social media. On top of that they steal these cars and run errands in them like a soccer mom. Unfortunately some are being raised by deadbeat millennials themselves.
It's not really Millenials that are raising these violent Zoomers, as most Millenials are giving birth to Gen Alpha. Zoomers are the children of Gen X. Yes the technology and short attention span because of it, on top of how accessible viewing graphic violence is, has all contributed to their violent ways and as they get older we are seeing it play out in the murder rate increases

Maybe on average but it would make sense that some/many violent young people were birthed by young mothers.
I think the rise in violence is due to the generation. The generation of early adults and teens in the 1980s-1990s was violent like the children growing up now. The millennials (my generation) are peaceful, but generation Z is very violent.
“In order to keep the Millennial generation analytically meaningful, and to begin looking at what might be unique about the next cohort, Pew Research Center decided a year ago to use 1996 as the last birth year for Millennials for our future work. Anyone born between 1981 and 1996 (ages 23 to 38 in 2019) is considered a Millennial, and anyone born from 1997 onward is part of a new generation.“
That's a huge overgeneralization and oversimplification. There are so many other factors at play across different eras/years. External events to me are the bigger factor - Exhibit A: The Pandemic.

Crime began to rise significantly across America around 2015 which was 5 years before the pandemic.
Not necessarily based on 2022. We were supposed to be confirming what is considered and the population of west Baltimore. The Sun map is including everything around Carrollton ridge as Southern district so I don't know if that's really considered West or South.
Based on 2022
Ward 8 DC- 77 rate 100
Ward 7 DC- 45 rate 63
West Baltimore- 127- rate 45
East Baltimore- 123 rate 61.5
South Baltimore -55 rate166
North STL-114 rate 146
The southern portion of Ward 8 in DC really drives the violence in the city along the Maryland line. That’s where all the housing projects are located. Ward 7 homicides are down from 2022 while Ward 8 has a 100% increase right now.

It's weird they're even shifting to dressing like the 90's with this new obsession with y2k fashion/music. I haven't seen this many kids wearing baggy jeans since 2007. History really does repeat itself.

Yeah, Gen Xers were violent back in the crack epidemic days. Although fiction, movies like Boyz N The Hood and Menace II Society portrayed what life was like around that age and time.

I was literally thinking about that this morning. There was a spike around 2015 and 2016 mainly due to the Ferguson Effect and was also a period of civil unrest not much unlike the pandemic years. It did wane slightly during 2017-2019.

2023 is the new 2007, which is also the new 1991. Only 2023 is more similar to the latter due to the levels of violence not seen since the 90's while 2007 is more closer to the low point.
San Francisco 10, no homicides since the Apr 4 killing of tech exec Bob Lee, where the suspect was someone he knew
city-wide rate of 1.2/100k is running under last year's annual rate of 6.4 per 100k
San Jose 8, 0.9/100k, in line with last year's annual rate of 3.5/100k
Oakland 28, 6.7/100k, in line with last year's annual rate of 27.2/100k
LA 70, (1.8/100k), down from 95 this time last year, most crimes are down y/y in the city
In KC, where the state is in control of KCPD, homicides are at an all time high with 50 YTD.
The state of Missouri is likely going to take over control of STLMPD, but there is something to be said about this action being ineffective in reducing violent crime.
Atlanta is at 25 as of 4/8, just under a 50% reduction from last years total to the same date at 49.
