Young People Commit Fewer Crimes These Days

Gen Z commits less crime than the generations that came before it.

The chart is for males in the U.S. only. Admittedly, arrest aren't necessarily crimes, but the rate at which arrests led to convictions has been stable over time, and rate at which crimes are cleared by convictions has grown, rather than fallen, since 1995 when crime was at its peak. The chart probably actually understates the shift.

It is also worth noting that the percentage of U.S. males that are non-Hispanic white, and the percentage of U.S. males that are Christian, both declined significantly from 1995 to 2019, especially among younger males.
