I think Matty has already covered the facts about violence (especially murder) has been declining the past 2 decades. The pure numbers show that. Here, take it from the FBI.

The reason why it appears we have a violence problem is because that's what your regular corporate media continues to broadcast. Media and the government have found out a while ago that fear is a powerful aid in getting people to do things against their own interests and to sell shit. What's their aim? They want to continue with the military industry and gun supplying so what better way than to drum up fear about violence, terrorism, and gun control. The record amount of guns sold during Obama's 8 years is staggering. All because media and politicians fear monger people that they'll be losing their guns. Notice the conservative media and how they portray everything. It's always a "war on christianity"...."war on christmas"......"war on guns"....."war on free speech". Constant fear mongering and these idiots bite into it every single time. A lot of it has to do with the lack of education quite frankly and the mere mentality that's been drilled into their heads since birth.
You want to know how to bring some of that violence in inner cities down? Fix income inequality and help those people get out of poverty. As long as poverty continues to be a huge issue in America, the longer violence and murder are a mainstay in these inner cities. It's a direct correlation between poverty and violence. Nobody is saying give these people free money. No. Give these people a real chance to get themselves out with real wages and real benefits. Most of the people in poverty certainly don't want to be there. (regardless of what your shitty ass media pundits/racists/bigots tell you)
