I could very well be wrong.

I doubt that many of the "extra" homicides can be put down to Roy-Meadows-style blundering, but the idea of an increased detection rate is more plausible. There’s data in the BCS for the detection rates for recent cases (how many were murder, manslaughter, not cleared up, etc.), but I don’t know how far back the BCS goes, or whether this is enough to test your hypothesis.
