Flutterby™! : Violent crime decreases linked to child abuse decreases?

There's a blog post over on GovLoop that you probably can't read because it's one of those walled gardens, but it asks Do Decreases in Child Abuse Explain Decreases in Violent Crime?, and references Crime in America.net asking why violent crime rates are falling (they toss increased cell phone mix, aging population, and increased abortion in the "correlated but not necessarily a cause" mix) and Crime in America.net reporting on the big drops in child sex and physical abuse.

Just more to toss in the "why is society safer today?" mill: It ain't necessarily just the increased access to pornography.
