I was bored and did some Googling. Most crime stats you find look from 1950 to the present, and definitely around the 50's crime was at a low. But check this out: [Image: homicides-1900-20062_zps2369e282.jpg]
sited from: http://blogs.berkeley.edu/2010/06/16/a-c...n-america/
Violent crime is just a wee bit higher now than it was during the period beginning about 1940 until 1965 or so. Pre-WWII violent crime was about as prevalent as it was in the 80's and 90's and is now once again trending downwards.
Statistics on teen pregnancy and violent crime are recorded history, not your perceptions of some idyllic bygone era, GC.
