Always has been.
The problem is that the guy robbing a 7/11 or shooting somone in a bar is visceral and visible in the news, and people are immediately afraid and want somone to protect them.
Meanwhile the mega douche stealing their 401ks and blocking healthcare for all is just some figure far away that you feel helpless against anyway.
The second one is doing far FAR more damage to our society, but is hardly addressed.
