Violence has gone down, in spite of media scaremongering, and despite basically every other aspect of society getting shittier over the past two decades. Psychological issues have been getting worse, though, but that's inevitable in a society where people keep getting poorer, many don't have hope for the future, social contact is becoming increasingly polarized and hostile, and social media engagement algorithms (which everybody with a social life is required to use) are intentionally causing psychological harm for profit (source: leaked internal Facebook documents ('Facebook Files')).
