Actually, the crime rate right now is fairly consistent with the way it usually is. There was a trough in violent crime cases (reported, anyway) in the 1950s, but we’re actually staying fairly close to the average, and the statistics show that violent crime cases are on average as low as they’ve been in 20+ years. And I contend that people are safer today than they were during the days of Prohibition in the 20s to mid 30s. I also contend that if the US was not under the throes of another form of prohibition right now, that violent crime rates would drop once again (a lesson that should have been learned in 1933, if not for those crusading for “morality”).

I don’t even want to hazard a guess as to why this is. Equating “promiscuity” (whatever the definition of *that* is) with rape is like equating knitting a sweater with shooting puppies. They have nothing to do with each other, and should only be mentioned in a sentence together in order to point out the idiocy of mentioning promiscuity and rape in the same sentence.
