The rise in the number of television shows being able to watch at the click of a button is quite instrumental, and many people thought 30 years ago this was never possible. With the rise of these platforms, such as Netflix, Hulu, and others has allowed us to watch full seasons of a show in a matter of days. Back in my parent's day, they would have to wait an entire week for the next episode. I remember her telling me stories of everyone huddling around the water cooler to talk about what happened on the show Magnum, P.I., and everyone would talk about it. Waiting an entire week to see the next episode feels like eternity in today’s standards. I don’t even know if I could do that right now, that’s why I decide to put off a show until at least 4 episodes have been released. Being part of a society where I can watch episodes has presented some great and bad flaws throughout society.
Some of the most watched television shows on Netflix are Money Heist and Breaking Bad. Looking at shows such as Breaking Bad, The Blacklist, and Ozark, these drug lord shows and crime shows are well produced and are highly viewed by today's demographic.The show Ozark has recently completed its third season and has caught the eyes, with it garnering the attention of 16.4 million viewers in April. Ozark, a story about a couple that launders money for a drug lord. They ended up moving to Ozark, Missouri starting a casino so they could launder cash. He goes through the struggles of having to be a good husband, dad, stay safe, and launder. Putting all of these problems on just one person will cause them to spiral out of control. Earlier this week, we saw a 20-year-old college student, allegedly committed suicide after hedging put and call options against one another, causing him to get under maximum leverage. After getting down over $700,000, reportedly thought there was no end but to commit suicide, which is an extremely sad but also allows for a learning point for all of us that the stock market isn't a game.
Sentiments on crime throughout the United States have continuously risen, but I guess many can suggest that towards globalizations. Globalization has led to many people throughout the United States and beyond to have allowed people to communicate at a moment's notice or have access to news at the click of a button. We have seen another example of globalization earlier in the video-streaming services with Netflix. I wanted to look at crime statistics to see if we have had higher rates of Violent Crime in the United States throughout the past fifteen years.To first begin answering the question, I first decided to look at some crime data from 1960 - 2014 via the FBI. Here are some cool statistics from the dataset.
Violent Crimes consist of murder negligent manslaughter, legacy rape, revised rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. As the graph points out the National Violent Crime Rate per 100,000 people reached it's peak in the early 90s with the two highest types of crime bring robbery and aggravated assault. Since the 90s has passed we have seen it go on the decline. Violent crime occured only about 250 aggravated assault per 100,000 times in they year 2014 and 100 robbery incidents per 100,000 in 2014. So we can say, that violent crime has occurred less in the in the past compared to the present. Let's see if this also holds true for Property Crime.

Let's see if this also holds true for Property Crime.Property Crime consist of burglary, larceny, and motor vehicle theft. Property Crime has also been down since the 90s as well. Which is quite interesting to view, like where more people commiting crime or cops arresting more people? What was the sentiment or were we just locking individuals up for any reason due to political affiliation? In an Political Ad paid for by the National Security PAC, on behalf of the George H.W. Bush campaign.
Many speculated that during the 1980s and 1990s individuals representing the Republican party brought drugs into low-income communities predominantly made up of African-American and Hispanic individuals. Many believe the drugs came through Nicaragua which then infiltrated it's way to those communities in the United States. Many reports suggest that drug usage in those communities rose about 60% during that period. Now you might be wondering how can robbery or aggravated assault can be extrapolated to rising drug issues in poverty stricken communities. For example, let's say a person was in need of drugs but didn't have the money to purchase any, how should they go about getting there fix? A person may go by any means necessary to get drugs, which means they'll thinking irrational because they aren't worrying about the future but the present (time value of money). With the government having a tough on crime demeanor as the political ad suggested and which boosted Bush in the polls and helping him win the presidential election. This created a fude on who was tougher on crime. As we saw in the previous graphs crime reached it's highest point during that period. The racial overtone presented by both, showed that it would have drastic effect on all minority groups in the United States, as many academics have started to realize since the event.
Because many white women and men, thought they're country was getting a way from it's original ways. And now we're seeing the same rhetoric currently with the election of Trump and his campaign slogan being Make America Great Again (MAGA) which he has been a staunch supporter of Law and Order. Which everyone knows, that this code for locking up minorities. Also, Biden who in the 1970s was big on segregation and who believed de-segregation would cause for his kids to grow up in a 'racial jungle'. So the election will be one for the ages...
I will attach the spreadsheet for your knowledge.-R
