You can not in any way prove that boomers increasing in age is main cause of the decrease in crime. There are way too many other factors which are involved.
I do admit that changing demographics are one factor but certainly not the only one.
There are many counties in Florida that the median age is decreasing and crime is still going down, wouldn't that blow a hole in the boomer theory?
