We did have a lot of baddies in the past. But good people were not as reluctant to say anything about it in the past. We have removed the stigma from behavior that has been unacceptable in the past. When you remove the deterrents for adverse acts, you get more of them. Look at Seattle. Would it have even been possible for it to get as bad 50 years ago, even 20 years ago?
It is simply beyond me that anyone could think that the permissive atmosphere secondary to moral decay is not a major driver for this stuff.
