Homicide Rate per 100,000:
  1950    4.6
  2014    4.5

Fear of rising crime rates is just one more MSM propaganda meme used to make us think we need more government. Crime rates rose significantly from the late 1960's through the mid 1990's but have since dropped back to approximately where they were in the 1950's.
