The crime stats began going off the charts after Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Sad but true.
Uhhh, OK.
I think you might find that the crime stats go off the charts when the Warren Court and leftists embraced the view that criminals were not to blame and sentences were diminished for serious crime and there was a general revolt against order.
I’m pretty sure not having state-sanctioned discrimination didn’t cause the crime rates to go up.

Thomas Sowell explains this well in his book “Black Rednecks and White Liberals”.
He compares the crime, unemployment, education, out of wedlock births from decades preceding the Great Society programs of the early and mid-sixties to those same metrics afterwards, and it is shocking.
Shocking, dramatic and sad. He makes the point that it isn’t Poverty, Ignorance and Disease (the triumvirate that Liberals are so fond of invoking) but the intervention of the government that caused this dramatic turn for the worse.
Sad for the black community, and sad for this nation. Probably the worst, most misguided and most damaging liberal policies since the Great Society debacle of FDR.
