Here is part of the FBI Press Release that was not mentioned in the posted article:
https://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/fbi-releases-2018-crime-statistics
"Caution Against Ranking: Each year when Crime in the United States is published, some entities use the figures to compile rankings of cities and counties. These rough rankings provide no insight into the numerous variables that mold crime in a particular town, city, county, state, tribal area, or region. Consequently, they lead to simplistic and/or incomplete analyses that often create misleading perceptions adversely affecting communities and their residents."
Translation:
Areas that have a large Black population, or Hispanic gangs, have much more violent crime than areas with large white and Asian populations.
Re: Cameras everywhere and everybody’s packing...
Also, the number of people who carry more than $25 in cash goes down every year.
It also gets harder every year to make large cash transactions.
I grew up in the apartment and hotel family business.
Almost no apartments accept cash anymore.
Most hotels still accept cash, but no one in the legitimate hotel business wants to deal with it anymore.
The media (all) has an undercurrent of emphasis on sex and death.
