Extractions: Stats Not too long ago the typical sources for statistics on a specific topic were those cited in books or journal articles on that topic. Sometimes the authors presented statistics gathered as a result of their own research while at other times they provided statistics gleaned from other sources. Because of the time involved in getting books and articles to press, it was not unusual for students especially to rely on what were often dated statistics. Today there is less justification for term papers and other research projects to use anything other than the most current data on particular topics. Instead on relying on the national murder or rape rate provided in your three-year-old text book or a five-year-old journal article, go directly to the FBI's Uniform Crime Report online and get the most current data.

The list is obviously endless and that means that whether you are gathering supplementary statistics in conjunction with your own original research or are simply providing a research paper on a particular topic, you likely have direct access to statistics that are more current than any you could find in an already published source.

And New South Wales isn't alone in reporting a sharp increase in women prisoners. Criminologists say it's the result of tougher sentencing and growing heroin use. Perhaps more alarming is the big jump in the number of violence crimes being committed by women.

Jesse Ventura On Crime crime statistics are distorted to encourage racism where states receive funds based on increasing the percentage of prison sentences actually served; http://www.issues2000.org/Celeb/Jesse_Ventura_Crime.htm
Extractions: Im against legislation that puts the state or federal government on the position of caring for somebody for life for trivial reasons. Thats why Im opposed to the Three Strikes law, as its now written. We should be prosecuting felons severely the firs time around. If somebody has done a violent crime and served his time, you dont then put him away forever for stealing cookies. Mandatory sentences are awful. They take power away from judges. Judges should be allowed a certain amount of discretion. They should be able to treat each case individually. Three Strikes would work fine if it put people away for three violent felonies. But its a stupid waste of taxpayers money otherwise. Plus, it causes a backup in our court system, because nobody who gets caught a third time wants to plead guilty and face certain life in prison. Legislators love tough-sounding programs like Three Strikes; unfortunately, it makes them look good at campaign time, but it causes us more problems afterwards.

Some examples: G cordon sanitaire between local law enforcement and immigration authorities that creates a safe haven for illegal criminals. L T The real reason cities prohibit their cops and other employees from immigration reporting and enforcement is, like nearly everything else in immigration policy, the numbers. The immigrant population has grown so large that public officials are terrified of alienating it, even at the expense of ignoring the law and tolerating violence. In 1996, a breathtaking Los Angeles Times cholos (gang members), revealed the rate of illegal-alien membership in the gang. In response to the public outcry, the Los Angeles City Council ordered the police to reexamine Special Order 40. You would have thought it had suggested reconsidering

Extractions: Click here for PDF version A dramatic fall in the American crime rate over the past decade could hold some lessons for Australian penal policy During the 1990s the United States experienced a significant drop in the incidence of most categories of crime. Table 1 below shows that the assault rate in America dropped by more than one-third, burglary rates more than halved, robberies fell by two-thirds and car theft fell by three-quarters. In Australia, by contrast, burglary and car theft fell only marginally during the 1990s while assault and robbery rates went up. Apart from homicide (where rates in America probably reflect the accessibility of handguns), Americans are today considerably less at risk of becoming victims of serious crime than Australians. Indeed, the International Crime Victim Survey of 17 countries shows Australians are more at risk than the citizens of most other developed countries. Australia ranks second highest overall (behind England and Wales) on the rate of victimisation, and we score higher than any other country on so-called Ôcontact crimesÕ such as robbery and assault.

The conference includes discussion of different research and evaluation methodologies and interpretation of crime and justice statistics, including use in the policy environment and the competing demands placed on research in this context. Papers presented at the conference cover a wide variety of topics in research and evaluation, including policing evaluation, crime statistics, dealing with survey data, data collection, use of research consultancies, research ethics, linking research and policy, use of performance indicators, researching offenders, crime prevention program evaluation, prison related research, court based research, research design and practice, cultural considerations, and the review work of the Campbell Collaboration.

Chairman: Pemberton, E.Leigh Abstract: Abundant statistical data on crime and the operation of the law. 1) Increase or decrease of crime over time. 1874-1893 has seen fall in violent crimes against the person and in all classes of crimes against property. Increase in 'crimes against morality' at least partly due to creation of new offences by legislation. Concludes that overall there has been 'real and substantial' decrease in crime. References made to the impact of the Summary Jurisdiction Act (1879) on crime rates. 2) Tendency to mitigation of sentence. Changes monitored 1883-93. At Assizes and Quarter Sessions was very great decrease in longer prison sentences and very great increases in sentences of fine, whipping or recognizances. Sentences passed on summary convictions showed reduction in whole scale of imprisonments, especially marked in cases of longer sentences, whilst the use of fines and recognizances increased (attributed to the Probation of First Offenders Act, 1887). Average daily prison population fell from 27,140 to 18,233.

Both represented the Disabled American Vets at the Oct 17 Caravan and are team leaders of the new Coalition By B. Cayenne Bird Eight years ago Dan Lungren and Pete Wilson were elected by a voting block which chose them because of their rhetoric promising a "tough on crime" policy. Understandably, the voters were beyond their limits and tired of crime running amok. So, that small percentage of the population who actually votes elected Wilson, a right-winger with no conscience and an aspiration to the presidency. He was out to prove himself as a crime-fighter and use such a reputation to catapult himself to Washington. Dan Lungren assisted him as Attorney General in this campaign which literally declared war on the citizens of California. While the voters ran as hamsters on their yuppie treadmills in attempts to earn a living, Wilson and Lungren hired in their cronies to run the state agencies. They created a Government Gang so powerful it criminalized and prospered off the freedom of the poor.
