There was a rapid rise in the crime rate in several countries between 1960 and 1990 as shown by the graph below from http://www.parliament.uk/commons/lib/research/rp99/rp99-111.pdf

and also from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:CanadaViolentCrime.gif.


Can anyone suggest how this might have been avoided?
