Free Abortion is a theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legalized_abortion_and_crime_e... . But it's also been criticized. It makes allot of sense to me though.

Edit Just saw another poster posted this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead%E2%80%93crime_hypothesis which also sounds like a factor. So i guess there's probably not a singular cause.
