Thank you, Jeff-alytics. Is there a way to measure, that when violent crimes go down then property crimes go up due to criminals perceiving greater danger to themselves from armed or potentially armed victims?
Riffing off interviews with imprisoned criminals liking unarmed victims, and speculating that burglary (not home invasions) is less risky 'cause of 'castle doctrine' and reported defensive gun usage (e.g. "putting that word on the street" Revolver Grandma shot at intruder)
Wonderful analysis. Thanks!!! Len.

Not that I'm aware of but there may be some academic literature on it out there.
