Every week there is a new pet theory relating the drop in violent crime to increased abortions, or to reduced lead poisoning, or to the death of the original wave of crackheads or some such rot.
Violent crime is down because of:
(1) Giuliani and other mayors implementing Jack Maple's CompStat program for tracking crimes and punishing QOL violations, and
(2) Putting more violent criminals behind bars for longer.

(2) Putting more violent criminals behind bars for longer. Bingo! I still remember reading newspaper story after newspaper story about how people were confounded that while crime is dropping, more people are in prison longer. They couldn't figure out the connection and that if you keep criminals in prison they don't commit crimes!
