Depends on whether one counts the whole of Russia in such statistics.
Others (who rather don't work in 'values'-centric organisations) tend to point a lot at drugs, or the 'war' on the same.So that is what has gone wrong in the recent past, the collapse of the black family has resulted in a murder rate in the black community that is wildly disproportionate with the rest of the US.
One could also point at a crisis of the middle class or at urbanisation, albeit neither is really unique to the US.
