My favorite explanation, which isn't a complete one (nor would the author claim it was), is this by @johnkroman.bsky.social, who points to the not-much-help-from-the-Feds restoration of local social services, who are in many ways even more "first-responders" than the police.
Why did crime decline in 2023?
Because local government went back to normal

It's true homicides are still higher than they were in the early 2010s, when they hit near-historic lows.
But the decline in homicide since 2021 has been truly staggering. It's a huge public safety win, and thousands of ppl are alive bc of it.
It deserves--demands--the same attention as the spike.

Even better if the 25 who leave at any one time are from different parts of the audience, and they have to get out noisily with "excuse me"s etc. Just a constant stream of people needing to leave.
