Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The 2010 violent and property crime rates were not the highest recorded since the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) began in 1973. In fact, crime rates have generally been on a downward trend since the early 1990s, and the rates in 2010 were lower than the peaks observed in the early 1990s.
