Episode Details

In this week’s episode of The Next Take Podcast, hosts Mikel and Tanyka dive into the turbulent history of the 1970s, unpacking some of the most notorious crimes of the decade. From headline-grabbing scandals to little-known cases that shaped the cultural climate, they explore how these events reflected the social and political upheaval of the era.

The 1970s marked a turbulent chapter in American crime history. Across the decade, the United States experienced significant increases in violent crime, including homicide, robbery, and aggravated assault. FBI-based historical data show the violent crime rate rising from approximately 364 per 100,000 people in 1970 to 549 per 100,000 in 1979, while the homicide rate increased from 7.9 to 9.7 per 100,000. Beyond the statistics, the decade became associated with high-profile serial killers, organized crime, political corruption, major robberies, and growing public concerns about safety. Cases and events from this period also influenced policing, criminal investigations, media coverage, and how Americans viewed crime for decades afterward. “Crime in the ’70s” explores the cases, criminals, victims, investigations, and social conditions that defined one of the most fascinating periods in modern American crime history.
