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

  1. Executive Summary
  2. Crime Trends (violent, property, homicide)
  3. Incarceration and Policing
  4. Substance Abuse and Overdose
  5. Data Table Appendix
  6. 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
