Re: Only in Oklahoma...
Don't get me wrong, national statistics do show a marked increase in crime between the 1950s and the 1970s, but an overall decrease in all crimes since the 70s. There has been an uptick in violent crime in some metropolitan locales in the last couple of years for reasons not readily apparent. My take on it is that the economy isn't as rosy as some would like to believe.
