I use this with my high school students all the time. Shame is a great motivator.

Not sure why THIS Redditor was given the "bit," when most posts here could benefit from the same. 🤔

The data only show Crime Rate 1999-2018. About the 70s and 80s, I heard it was much worse. The city was less diverse and had so many crimes against the minorities that many families had to move

I'm not sure what you mean about the city being less diverse, but there were gangs that beat up on minorities back then, notably the Dot Busters and the Bones, who were violent and despicable. Most people can't jump up and move when these things happen, so I don't think there was a mass exodus of any type. Aside from that, there was also run of the mill robberies, car thefts, etc.
