Your source shows the rise in murder rates was well underway by the mid-1980s. It also fails to explain the recent decline. In 2007 there were 147 murders committed in the Netherlands¹. In a population of 18M, that works out to a rate of about 0.82 per 100,000. Looking at your chart, that is the lowest level since the early 1970s.

Your conclusion that lax drug laws are causal for a rise in murders is worthy of junk AGW climate science.
