When did social programs reduce the crime rate? Document your assertion, like I do.You have to remember Johnny Boy is a racist piece of shit who thinks that social programs have never decreased crime which is patently false. That somehow the voting public knows this. Now THAT is probably true but people know a lot of things that aren't true.
One of the few successful social experiments in the United States has been the increase in the prison population.
From 1960 to 1970 the prison population declined from 212,953 to 196,429
The civil rights legislation was passed. Poverty declined because of a broadly based economic expansion, and War on Poverty Programs.
During this time the crime rate per 100,000 inhabitants increased from 1,887.2 to 3,984.5
From 1980 to 2016 the prison population increased from 315,974 to 1,380,427
Poverty increased because the economy became more competitive, and because of cuts in welfare.
During this time the crime rate per 100,000 declined from 5,950,0 to 2,489.3.
