Footnote

Yesterday I wrote about the declining crime rate. I was expressing doubts if it as large as claimed. 

I do recognize with our birthrate declining the number of young men has declined. Young men commit a very large fraction of violent felonies. 

This demographic fact we know is real, and undoubtedly contributes to the decrease in reported crime. I should have added the above to yesterday's post.
