    A pretty multi-factor source of issues, it seems, and not all of them likely to recede with the pandemic. The main factors seem to be:

    • Pandemic fatigue and resentment leading to a big wave in the fall
    • Eroded trust in the police discouraging people from informing or reporting suspicious activity
    • Large surge in gun ownership
