OPINION: No, France is not suffering from an unprecedented wave of violence
Briefly

The murder rate in France is less than half of what it was 30 years ago. Crime statistics surged in the 1970s and 1980s, then decreased significantly with the onset of the new century before rising again.
There is a new trend of extreme violence among a minority of 13 to 15-year-olds, fueled by social media and a disturbing willingness of some teenage girls to imitate violent behaviors historically linked to boys. This trend raises concerns despite the progress in gender equality.
The claim that France is heading towards a world of migrant-induced violence is labeled as a calculated lie aiming to stoke racial prejudice. The term 'savage' is being strategically exploited amidst concerns about actual violence in some multi-racial suburbs.
