50There isn't even an additional speed increase for the dropping murder rate after this guy started his big arrest wave how is that possible
How did it start dropping before his mass arrests started?
very very weird, and I'm like Bukeles #1 fan (because of the guards in capes)
Yeah there was this very sharp plunge from 2015 - 2019 — didn’t appear to have anything to do with arrest rates.
WAS THERE LIKE
A STREET WAR AGAINST CARTELS?
Did that line up with an internal war in ms19 or whatever they're called? The winners then slow down the murders to 50% of their former peak rate until they're still the murder capital of the new world?
I can see a scenario where the winners of a cartel faction war then slow down the killings but to a rate way above any of their neighbours
An argument could be made that the big spike and drop was turf wars being settled, but still that graph shows absolutely no correlation between dropping murder rate and rising arrest rate and it's a little concerning to me that the guy presents it as if it does.
that's barely related to my point. The graph still doesn't show it.
>Arrest rate on a steady rise since 2005
>murder rate: Also rising
>Arrest rate not accelerating its rise in 2015
>murder rate: dropping
>arrest rate skyrocketing in 2021
>no change to murder decrease rate
My only point is that it's weird that he is using the graph and explicitly labelling it "vs" too, when clearly it shows the opposite of his claim.
If there are other effects that led to the reduction, a graph of the murder rate with the years of his elections to mayor and president would have been sufficient and actually made a good point.
This is weird. People who understand things don't do this.

THEY DON'T TRACK ARRESTS IN SAN SALVADOR AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL?
SOMETHING THAT ISN'T ARRESTS HAD HAPPENED THAT CAUSED THE MURDER RATE TO DROP OFF A CLIFF
Crime went down, it wasn’t until the final crackdown that arrests spiked, but the threat was increasing before then.

are you fucking kidding me?
Totally pointless discussion!
>discuss a graph you have not seen
>impune my reasoning as if I *WAS* saying that Bukele had nothing to do with it, when I have never done this at all
You're being no better than chatGPT you just come up with things that are vaguely in the same word-space as what the discussion was about and you don't even reason before speaking. And on top of that you insult me for it.
Absolutely retarded Darksouls moment. I'll see you in Vermont
"Graph shows X" and then posts a graph that very clearly does not show X
Explain how that is my fault, and how it's related to supposedly lacking context and or sperging out. I think people aren't sperging enough atp, because apparently only the autistic can identify a bad argument being made and stick to that point of discussion, without assuming ten trillion other things the other might possibly believe, like you are doing with me.
I am Bukele's biggest fan, don't know why you guys keep hallucinating shit I have not said.
I already gave an example of something better (just mark the years where he was elected).
The weirdness isn't that I think "fighting crime has no correlation to a reduction in murder rate" it's just that if it is all that other stuff, why is he making this point with a graph that undermines his position.
The axes are labelled correctly. Please start engaging with the actual content of my argument or leave me alone and stop insulting me for no reason. I know a lot more than the average person about El Salvador and it's really stupid to assume I just don't know what I am talking about WHILE looking at a graph that shows no correlation yet maintaining it does.
Stop talking to the liberal in your head, and start talking to me.
I was going to agree with you and engage in speculation but I read the replies and saw we're doing a "ragebait Wanderer" today so instead I'm just going to call you a libcuck who wants to release murderers
It takes a bit of nuance but it's not actually that hard to figure out.
>criminals see more arrest happening
>they get uppity because they think they desserve to have all the power
>sudden rise was caused by criminals as reprisal towards upgoing trend in arrests
>seeing that bukele isnt stopping criminal morale drops(like it does with any bandit when overpowered)
>once morale drops the criminals scatter like roaches which makes them easier targets for arrest
>big spike in arrests happens
at least that's how i see it
The correlation is non linear and you get diminishing returns
Also there is no way to no if the the muder rate would drop to thst level without mass incarceration or hit an asymptote befoe that level
The murder rate is lower than it was in 2012 in 2017. Had it just been and undoing of a truce, the graph would've stayed at 2012 levels. Put it kept plummetting, in a constant fashion.
There are fewer murders in the end than in the early 2000s before cartel wars may have started. (guessing) So incarceration may have removed the remaining criminals after the wars settled. Which would support Bukele's claim although not to the extent implied at first glance.
It's important to note that after 2014 the government added more and more measures to combat the gangs.
Important to note that the youth outreach program was one of the cornerstones of the truce era, and it did jack shit, because the problem wasn't "the youth" it was the gangs.
Bukele is right to point out that a very, very small % of the overall population is committing virtually all of the crime. If that segment of the population is completely rounded up and imprisoned, the country becomes safer than the US.
