Hmm. You'd think in order for a place to be the murder capital of the U.S. you'd actually have to have people living there. Unless maybe they are going by percentage. Cause if 1 of the two or three people still living in Detroit is murdered, that's automatically a 33-50% murder rate.

Hasnt crime continued to plunge in the USA? Or was that teenage pregnancies? Or both? I'm certain about the teen pregnancies.
A little. We're getting better at blowing up other events in the media so the rest of the world has something else to focus on.

Is teenage pregnancy a crime? That could explain it.

The statisticians and govmnt can't work out why teenage pregnancies have plunged so much. But they suspect "16 and pregnant" has played a part.
"The obvious thing to do is keep doing what we're doing to cut teen pregnancies by 10% for over 5 years running. The problem is we can't figure out what we're doing!"

Guttmacher doesn't seem all that perplexed:
Granted we can't prove the cause since we can't run experiments with control groups where one group of teens gets condoms and the other doesn't but they don't seem to be scratching their heads and saying "Ain't that a corker?" either.
U.S. TEEN PREGNANCY, BIRTH AND ABORTION RATES REACH HISTORIC LOWS wrote:
“The decline in the teen pregnancy rate is great news,†says lead author Kathryn Kost. “Other reports had already demonstrated sustained declines in births among teens in the past few years; but now we know that this is due to the fact that fewer teens are becoming pregnant in the first place. It appears that efforts to ensure teens can access the information and contraceptive services they need to prevent unwanted pregnancies are paying off.â€
Quote:
During this same time period, increasing proportions of women aged 18–19 reported having ever had sex, yet fewer of them were getting pregnant. Changes in contraceptive use are likely driving this trend. There is evidence that contraceptive practices are improving among older teens: A recent study found that the proportion of 18–19-year-old women reporting use of long-acting reversible contraceptive methods tripled between 2007 and 2009, and promotion and acceptance of these methods for teens and young adult women has increased. Contraceptive use may also be associated with the large decline in the pregnancy rate among sexually experienced teens.
[...]
Teen pregnancy rates in all 50 states have steadily declined over the past 20 years, and the dramatic decline from 2008 to 2010 in national rates of pregnancies, births and abortions reflects a decline in each of the 50 states. Yet even with long-term and ongoing declines, substantial disparities between states remain in these rates and in the patterns of pregnancy outcomes. A number of factors likely contribute to differences between states, including differences in the demographic characteristics of their populations, the availability of comprehensive sex education, knowledge about and availability of contraceptive services, and cultural attitudes toward sexual behavior and childbearing.

Heh, Texas still has the third highest teen pregnancy rate. Guess they're gunning to be first.

Guttmacher didn't tell you that while long term contraceptive use (IUDs) has tripled in teens, it's gone from 2% to 6%. So it can't be the only factor. Better education and cheaper and easier access to contraceptives for teens have also increased dramatically... in some states. Many states have not increased these things, and yet are still reaping the benefits of dramatic plunges in teen pregnancy.
It's a bit of a mystery akin to the mystery of plunging crime rates in the 90s. The Freakonomics guy worked out that this co-incided with the legalization of abortion 20 years previously. But then other people came along and pointed out that there were a lot of nations where abortion was still illegal, and they too had reaped plunging crime rates.

Guttmacher didn't make the argument that IUD use was the sole reason (and it's 2.4% to 8.5% for long-term contraceptive use as a whole
) but rather presented it as part of a collection of evidence that contraceptive use among teens is increasing. Anyway, the "mystery" aspect seems overblown.Belkira wrote:

No relation, actually, so far as I know. Or, I mean, probably. Irish family, I have more cousins than I have posts.

Well, now I feel stupid for having kidnapped him.
I don't suppose you'd still pay $1.65 million for "Uncle" Jack back? I mean, you like statistics and stuff, right?
