flag Rising crime in U.S. cities correlates with declining trust in government, especially among marginalized groups, a study finds.

flag A new study reveals that sharp increases in crime across U.S. cities correlate strongly with declining public trust in government and democratic institutions, particularly among marginalized communities. flag Researchers analyzed data from 2018 to 2024 across 50 major metropolitan areas and found that crime surges, especially violent incidents, led to reduced confidence in law enforcement and local leadership. flag The decline in trust persisted even after crime rates stabilized, suggesting long-term damage to civic engagement and faith in democratic processes.
