Missing Research: Crime and Social Pathology
Goal
Create a cross-domain crime and social pathology report that tracks violence, incarceration, substance abuse, and related metrics from 1900-2025. (source: MASTER_DATASHEET)
Required Structure
- Executive Summary
- Crime Trends (violent, property, homicide)
- Incarceration and Policing
- Substance Abuse and Overdose
- Data Table Appendix
- Sources and Links
Data Targets (with likely sources)
- Violent crime and homicide rates (FBI UCR, CDC)
- Incarceration rates (BJS)
- Drug overdose deaths (CDC WONDER)
- Alcohol and opioid use trends (SAMHSA, CDC)
- Juvenile crime trends (OJJDP)
Deep Research Prompt
“Construct a crime and social pathology report for the U.S. (1900-2025). Provide time-series data for violent crime, homicide, incarceration, and substance abuse (alcohol, opioids, overdoses). Identify inflection points (1968-1973 rise, 1980s crack era, 1990s decline, 2015+ reversal). Include policy and enforcement shifts (War on Drugs, sentencing changes). Provide a metrics table with sources and a narrative synthesis linking crime patterns to institutional trust and family stability where supported by evidence.” (source: MASTER_DATASHEET)
Traceability Checklist
- All rates include source and years
- Policy claims include date and statute or program
- Correlation claims require at least two sources
