Do you really think these are new problems? Or could it just be that we now KNOW about these things happening due to increased media saturation?
Media saturation has nothing to do with it, such terrible crimes would not have escaped public notice, I grew up in the 50's and 60's and experienced the things going on then till now. I'm not going to turn a blind eye to what's going on in this country, it's on a steep downhill grade, maybe the younger generation can't see it, but those I grew up with can and that includes Christians and nonbelievers.
But they DO escape public notice. If you don't have widespread media to get the word out, there is no public notice.
As a for-instance: The NSA got a bill renewed the other day that allows them to collect data on EVERY cell phone call that is made. This has been going on for 7 YEARS and yet, there was no "public notice" of this activity because the MEDIA didn't cover it.
Do some research on crime statistics. I think you will find you have been badly mislead BY THE MEDIA.
