"The violent crime rate per 100,000 individuals in the U.S. from 1986 to 2023. Violent crimes are composed of four offenses: homicide (murder and nonnegligent manslaughter), rape, robbery, and aggravated assault.

Figures come from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and World Bank, and are updated as of Sept. 2024."

The article says nothing about the connection between America's violent crime rate and the presidency. And I couldn't find any such information in the article's sources. The graph implies that the presidency and its party has the most influence on the violent crime rates, yet I could not find a discussion on the connection. I feel like the graph designer just slapped two things together to solicit unsubstantiated conclusions from the viewers. At the very least, the author of the article shows little knowledge on the subject.

I think the digitalization of society along with its influence on American culture impacts the violent crime rates more than (Federal) legislation. Various technological and medical breakthroughs may also play a role in the rise and fall of violent crime rates. Anyway, it would be more interesting to see major milestones of (Federal) legislation and technological advances on the graph. But that would require the graph designer to do research on the subject.

Good looking graph though. Lower violent crime rates is good.

I have no comment on the political correlation and didn't look that deep into it. Good point!

Just as a followup, here's some political spin on the topic that actually was in headlines today:
