None, and I can offer proof:
-
The Taking of Pelham 123 (1974) the crime was committed without cell phones, but in the 2009 remake with Denzel Washington they had cell phones and still chose to commit the crime.
-
The Manchurian Candidate (1962) we have a political assassination without cell phones. But in the 2004 remake with Denzel Washington the cell phones do not stop the criminals from being criminals.
-
Man on Fire (1987) the crime is a kidnapping. Then in the 2004 remake (with Denzel) again we see the same kidnapping is still committed with cell phones.
You add cell phones and Denzel Washington to the situation, and seems like nothing much changes.
I see you brought your receipts. Here’s your return in full.
The proof is in the pudding folks
Perhaps Denzel Washington is canceling out the effect of the cellphones?
Whatthefuck
6 min video, wear headphone or at least don’t watch in public space.

None.
Crime is primarily driven by poverty and other inequities when social supports are lost or dismantled. For the most part people turn to crime when they don’t have other options available.
Shouldn’t we see an increase in crime given the hard economic times we’ve experienced for the past 15 years?
There both tends to be a delay while the effects take hold and while pay for the general population is stagnant while prices rise, there hasn’t been a corresponding rise in long term poverty.
It is complicated, but things like the ACA reduced a lot of medical debt stress and low unemployment are working in the other direction from increased inequity. The states that decriminlized or even legalized weed had corresponding drops in crime as well.
Side note: Some cities have had spikes in crime, because it is never a perfectly even change everywhere.
You think poor people don’t have phones in 2024? I venmo a homeless dude on the street.
I think you replied to the wrong post, since I did not say that.
You are not a fun person.
They aren’t referring to entertainment options
At least once. I was going to rob a bank the other day but decided to play on my phone.

A lot less than the reduction in brain damaged individuals thanks to unleaded gasoline and lead remediation in homes and schools.
