Violent crime is down by about 50% (murder is down 54%, general violent crime down 51%) over the last 20 years, a very steep decline.

The big question is....why?
Here is one theory.
Why America is prone to mass shooting
I'm sure it is a deep, complex issue with many causes. This seems plausible for some of the cause, at least.
America has a lot of violence because people have too much freedom. Rigid totalitarian countries have lower crime rates because people don't have the freedom to be overtly violent. If you want to reduce such violence in America impose a rigid police state and eliminate personal freedoms. On top of that half of the population is simply bat shit crazy.
