I consider this a bright spot.
American Crime Rates went up last year for the first time in many years.
But the increases was due to minor assaults...no weapons involved, with minor injuries.
Americans are punching again!

Statistics showed that the rate of assault victims increased from 19.3 per 1,000 persons to 22.5 per 1,000 last year.
The statistics include 3.9 million simple assaults defined as crimes involving a threat but no weapon that resulted in relatively minor injuries.
