Disagree. Things like the holocaust, the great leap forward or the inflicted famine on the Ukraine weren't bad? Rampant accepted racism? Ridiculous levels of sexism, ageism and other forms of prejudice allowed to happen? Higher levels of poverty, starvation and illness?
On a more down to earth level, crime rates in the developed world have stayed pretty consistant for the last few decades. In the US for example, crime rates have been in decline since the 80's. Fact is, more crimes are probably reported these days than ever before.
Still, disagree with you too on this one sorry. Crime rates are not declining. Also, a fair few of those incidents from the past you spoke of? Firstly, I never said they weren't bad. I hate that style of arguing, those things were thrust in from no-where and aren't really applicable to the argument. They are on a more governmental level and are not really in the category of community crime that we are discussing. Illness? I'm not sure that fit an argument about crimes at all! :lol:
