Why did crime surge so much in the 80's?

Any graph of the American
>murder rate
>property crime rate
>sexual assault rate
shows the exact same trend.
A huge spike in the 70's, leveling off in the 80's, and then a sharp decrease in the 80's

What happened?

*decrease in the 90's

>Ragan era drug policy crack down

Crack

so drugs make people violent?

A crackhead will do anything to get more crack. They'll stick you in the neck for a 10 dollar rock.

crack floods ghettos, more drug dealers, more gang problems

Abortion

One theory is lead in gas/petrol

Rap music

we embraced the negro.

Turns out "all you need is love" wasnt the answer to everyone's existential angst.

Crack. So actual CIA niggers were responsible.

Two explanations the rise of lead in petrol and it's subsequent ban
Their is a surge in crime in other countries consistent with the rise and ban of lead
or
the crack epidemic caused by the war on drugs and the CIA

>kids on this site are too young to remember the crack epidemic

Fuck I'm old... look at carol city for an example

One of the reasons why black communities are shit. They never recovered from that.

If it was down to crack, why did it stop?

this.
and its karma with the heroin opiate pill outbreak.

>Plata o plomo

"civil" rights

it didn't, it surged in the 70s and maintained its level in the 80s

The children of degenerate hippies were reaching adulthood

Because it wasn't crack.
Crack was a symptom of it all.

Inner city gangs started to gain major ground in the 70s. Coming out of the 60s and throughout the 70s the Jews were pretty heavily involved with spreading radicalism to blacks. They tried to get black America to push for hardline Communism. It didn't produce much, but it did destabilize the social fabric quite a bit, and more and more were turning towards gang life. The culmination of this was in the 80s with the crack wars.
Increased incarceration brought down the crime rate after.

That was the round about point I was trying to make

cia niggers importing cocaine from south america to sell to US niggers, white trash, and high class partiers in order to launder cash from government welfare money into their black budget

this is literally and unironically the reason

abortion was legalized - reducing the number of shitty people

You should know that with the average IQ of people, beating around the bush or being indirect(if you dont have that euphemism in roo land) never works and makes people think. You have to make it as blunt as their minds are.

To people who blame crack or drugs or any single thing for any problem in our world,you are a fucking moron and one of the reasons why every problem facing the world will most likely only be solved through complete collapse.

>weed don't make him violent; weed make him hongry
Reagan's "war on drugs" enacted strict "no tolerance" laws; so peeps were arrested for minor possession, etc. resulting in an increase in arrests, which is reflected in OP's post.

They put a ton of niggers in jail?

>Reagan's "war on drugs"
nice meme

The "War on Drugs" began under Nixon, you mong.

America’s modern war on drugs was established at a time of growing African American political power.
Many of the toughest crime laws were crafted based on ideas and political mobilization that came from prominent black Americans — including writers, poets, civil rights activists, elected officials, clergy, and their close allies in the Democratic Party – despite growing misgivings and controversy.

>1970. June. Ebony magazine publishes article titled “Blacks Declare War on Dope.”
“Most community groups agree that the first offensive must be against black pushers and distributors who, as one father of a 19-year-old addict says, ‘come brazenly into our neighborhoods and murder and cripple our children with that junk’.

>1971. February. The Congressional Black Caucus is founded by Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY).
Through most of its history, the CBC would advocate actively for tough drug war legislation.

>1971. March 25. The Congressional Black Caucus secures a closed-door meeting with President Nixon in the Cabinet Room. During the session, the group demands more action to stop the flow of narcotics into urban neighborhoods.
Rep. Charles Rangel urges Nixon to do more to fight drugs without waiting for further congressional action, warning that support might soon build for drug legalization.

>1972. March 22. Nixon’s “Shafer” commission, made up largely of CONSERVATIVE WHITE elected officials, RECOMMENDS LEGALIZATION OF MARIJUANA. “Neither the marijuana user nor the drug itself can be said to constitute a danger to public safety,” writes co-author Gov. Raymond Shafer, a Republican from Pennsylvania. THE MEASURE RECEIVES NO SUPPORT FROM BLACK LAWMAKERS IN CONGRESS.

>1972. August 10. Jet magazine publishes a cover story describing drugs as a form of “Slavery.”

>1973. January. New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller, a longtime member of the NAACP with close ties to the black community, rolls out drug laws that would set a new standard for tough sentences, even for low-level non-violent drug offenders.
He is joined at the podium by prominent BLACK LEADERS from New York City who support the measure and URGE ROCKEFELLER TO ADOPT EVEN MORE STRINGENT PENALTIES INCLUDING THE DEATH PENALTY for “pushers.”

>1973. May 8. Governor Rockefeller signs laws setting minimum prison sentences of 15 years to life for possessing even small amounts of illegal narcotics, including marijuana, heroin and cocaine.

>1977. August 2nd. President Jimmy Carter proposes easing Federal marijuana laws. “I support legislation amending Federal law to eliminate all Federal criminal penalties for the possession of up to one ounce of marijuana.” THE MEASURE FAILS TO FIND SUPPORT IN DEMOCRATICALLY CONTROLLED CONGRESS.

>1982. Conservative Republican Sen. Strom Thurmond and Democratic Sen. JOE BIDEN — both members of the House Judiciary Committee — partner on a new anti-crime bill penned initially by Biden’s staff.
“I told him and I told my Democratic colleagues, ‘I’ll make a deal. If you keep your right-wing guys from killing this bill, I’ll keep the liberals off the bill,” BIDEN said.

>1986. July 23. Actor Ossie Davis joins street vigils against crack epidemic organized by leaders of 60 black churches in New York City.
“Just as in the past we fought slavery and we fought racism, we are going to fight drugs and the total indifference of those in power,” Davis said.

>1986. October. MAJOR FEDERAL DRUG WAR LEGISLATION PASSES. Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 passes Congress, enacting far tougher Federal mandatory minimum sentencing laws for drug offenders, including those caught with marijuana. Establishes a 100-to-1 disparity in punishments for crack cocaine compared with powder form of drug.
The measure is supported by the Congressional Black Caucus, THOUGH SOME MEMBERS WANT EVEN HARSHER PENALTIES FOR DRUG CRIMES. Sixteen of nineteen African American members of the House — including Texas Rep. Mickey Leland and California Rep. Ron Dellums — co-sponsor the bill.

>1988. May 17. Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY) publishes an op-ed in the New York Times titled “Legalize Drugs? Not on your life.” He chastises President Reagan for not doing enough to battle illegal narcotics and calls crack “the worst drug epidemic in our history.”

>1989. March. Ebony magazine publishes an article describing Rep. Rangel as “The Front-Line General In the War On Drugs.” Rangel talks about the “cancerous epidemic” of drugs hitting black communities in America.
Rangel chastises the administration of President George H.W. Bush for not doing enough to stop drugs.

>1991. Rep. Charles Rangel insists that the drug war should continue in a televised debate with CONSERVATIVE William F. Buckley Jr., WHO WANTS DRUGS LEGALIZED.
“What do you want to do with the [800,000] people that you convict?” Buckley asks. “Do you want to torture them to death?” He argues that the drug war is leading to 800 deaths per day.
Rangel goes on to insist “I still believe that [laws] should be there” and argues against legalization. He argues that someone “like Colin Powell” should be placed in charge of the effort.

>1994. Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act passes Democratically-controlled Congress with overwhelming margins based on Democratic support, with significant Republican opposition.
Major backers include Senate Judiciary chairman JOE BIDEN and New York Senator CHARLES SCHUMER. Measure is supported by the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives.
Establishes “three strikes and you’re out” sentencing rules. Expands death penalty to include drug trafficking crimes.

LET THE WHINING BEGIN!!

>1997. Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) elected chair of Congressional Black Caucus.
“Mandatory minimum sentences – especially those related to drug possession – and laws that impose more severe penalties for crack cocaine than powder cocaine have resulted in the incarceration of a disproportionate amount of African Americans.”

Point taken. I'm a bong in New Zealand.
Protip: Australian flag has white stars, NZ has red.

unemployment and leaded gas which dramatically lowered the IQ of urban citizens (of all races)

Also, a shitload of unhelped and untreated veterans from the Vietnam war

Real question is why did it decrease in 1930 -1964

>Reagan's "war on drugs"

Fake news, it was the democrat war on drugs.

Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986, Introduced in the House as H.R. 5484 by James C. Wright Jr. (D–TX)

Unironically Lead.
See Lead based paint in south central.

roe v wade in 1973 prevented a lot of potential criminals from being born

> Most community groups agree that the first offensive must be against black pushers and distributors who, as one father of a 19-year-old addict says, ‘come brazenly into our neighborhoods and murder and cripple our children with that junk’.

Of course now most blacks are niggers without fathers. Explaining nicely why all they can do is whine and protect criminals.

yes.
reminder that abortion should be legal for black people

Abortion is terrible and no doctor should routinely practice it.
Blacks in America should be sterilized.

Crack.

or mandatory. or the incentives for having children should be as such that they don't encourage nigger litters and instead encourage a comfortable or even opulent childless lifestyle so that the scourge can be eliminated in a generation or so. pay them handsomely to not have children. fuck we should start a charity to this end.

mandatory*

Nigger jim was no long required reading allowing for an increase in autonomy among the negroids of the u.s.

>why won't my retarded policies end up having good outcomes and reducing violence?

If you support the war on drugs you are both a nigger and a tool of the military industrial complex, along with the crooks in your government.

>le blu pill is le fight against le degenuhracy
KYS memers

CIA got into Heroin again, like they did in Vietnam.

Nativists always screw themselves over by going full autist on drugs leading to everyone hating them and their nativist platform by proxy.

>blacks are given the same rights as whites in 1965
>crime skyrockets in late '60s/early '70s

war on drugs

roe v wade

Niggers + crack

>Blacks were sterilized in the US in the 20's
>stopped during the 50's because we all equal
>Now can't even walk outside in America without a nigger harassing you
John Wilkes Booth did everything wrong.

>blacks get put in prisons in 90's
>crime rate lowers

but how is sexual predatory is connected here

Coincides with the end of segregation.

>being this much of a faggot
user asked why crime spiked in 80s. My reply addressed questions; Reagan indeed evoked the "war on drugs" in enacting his tougher set of laws. Noticed I simply answered user's question without mentally masturbating all over the conversation.


In the 1980s, President Ronald Reagan reinforced and expanded many of Nixon’s War on Drugs policies. In 1984, his wife Nancy Reagan launched the “Just Say No” campaign, which was an effort to educate children on the dangers of drug use.

President Reagan’s refocus on drugs led to a significant increase in incarcerations for nonviolent drug crimes.

In 1986, Congress passed the Anti-Drug Abuse Act, which established mandatory minimum prison sentences for certain drug offenses. This law was later heavily criticized as having racist ramifications because it allocated longer prison sentences for offenses involving the same amount of crack cocaine (used more often by black Americans) as powder cocaine (used more often by white Americans).

Critics also pointed to data showing that people of color were targeted and arrested on suspicion of drug use at higher rates than whites, leading to disproportionate incarceration rates among communities of color.

wrong. niggers wanted the drug war and niggers got the drug war

These are good. Thanks user.

Leaded paint and gasoline ended up being a much larger culprit than most realize. Our inner cities were clogged with it. Plus the CIA's assault on the black family and the following generation with no guidance. You might remember them, we called their places names like Compton and Long Beach.

my boy brazil is ahead of the pack
