Interesting point on parole.
The article points out that "in 1998, the homicide rate dipped below 1.9 per 100,000, the lowest rate since the 1960s." Thing is, this was true in much of the western world including the US.
The 2000 US homicide rate was its lowest since the 1960s and lower than the rate was in 1913.
