I don't know why crime rates have increased the past 5 years. Nor do I know why they decreased steadily. As far as I'm aware nobody knows for sure.
My original point was pointing out that mass killings don't follow the same trend as regular crime (and therefore, decreasing morality is probably not to blame).

What I posted was that there may have been changes in how the stats were categorized and tallied, and that may have happened at any point. But if you do accept the data as provided, then the crime rate has increased over the past few years. And it has been the last few years that society has become more and more tolerant of crime. At this point our government is even allowing admitted ISIS terrorists to return to Canada, that would not have been tolerated even a few years ago.
