Too much focus on the police in these discussions, and it serves as a distraction.
As the saying goes, "It's the economy, stupid."

Did incomes go up in the second half of the year ?

Poverty isn't the one and only factor that affects murder rates, but increased poverty has always resulted in increases in crime. It wouldn't make sense for there not to be an increase in murders, considering inflation and the widening gap between the rich and the poor. Salaries and wages have not kept up with inflation.
