Many police departments nationwide reported 90%+ clearance rates. Though most studies indicate nationwide it was probably closer to 87% in the 1960s. That has been on the decline ever since. Today police clear about 52.3% of murders and even fewer of other crimes like assault and rape.

No, it has NOT always been this bad.
