Drunk driving is way down from the 70s and 80s but distracted driving is a huge problem.
Rape statistics are a hard one because most rapes are not reported.
Hard to know if there is really more sexual assault or just more awareness.
Suicide has crept up but I'm not sure it's dramatically higher.
Not sure meth babies is any more of a thing than crack babies of yesteryear.
Fentanyl is a big deal. I certainly wouldn't be so casual with things like I was back in the day. That is one way kids today have it worse.
