Extractions: Crime is the most important subject on the public agenda today according to most national polls. Citizens of all races are fearful of violence and concerned about their own safety. People want their legislators and law enforcement leaders at all levels of government to develop effective strategies to reduce crime and ensure safety. This web page provides a compilation of resources on this topic, including both resources that are available in the Michigan State University Main Library as well as those that are available over the world wide web. In the most comprehensive study of its type, an article in the October issue of the Journal of Law and Economics (University of Chicago Press) says that crime costs $4,100 per person, or $1.7 trillion in 1997 dollars. The report, researched and written by David Anderson, an economist at Davidson College in North Carolina, covered such details as police and private security expenses, corrections costs, expense of crime-related injuries, amount of theft. Anderson says that criminals annually steal $603 billion in assets while also creating an additional $1.1 trillion worth of lost productivity.

Not by zapping a murderer seconds before he bloodied his victim, like the future cop played by Tom Cruise in Minority Report , but by sitting calmly on the bench in judge's robes and perusing a single sheet of data. Armed with the stats, you could predict the likelihood that a convicted drug dealer or thief standing before you would be arrested again in the near future if you let him go free. For decades, the science of predicting future criminality has been junk sciencethe guesswork of psychologists who were wrong twice as often as they were right. But today, the detailed collection of crime statistics is beginning to make it possible to determine which bad guys really will commit new offenses. In 2002, the Commonwealth of Virginia began putting such data to use: the state encourages its judges to sentence nonviolent offenders the way insurance agents write policies, based on a short list of factors with a proven relationship to future risk. If a young, jobless man is convicted of shoplifting, the state is more likely to recommend prison time than when a middle-aged, employed woman commits the same crime. Virginia's new sentencing method was born of a budget crunch. Faced with the prospect of building new prisons after passing a tough-on-crime measure in 1994, the Legislature asked the state sentencing commission to figure out which nonviolent offenders could be kept out of prison without posing a risk of committing new crimes. The commission's director, Richard Kern, and his staff members tracked 1,500 nonviolent drug, larceny and fraud offenders for three years after their release from prison. The researchers found that men were 55 percent as likely to be rearrested as women, and that offenders in their 20's were a much higher risk than those older than 40. Being unemployed made offenders more likely to commit another crime. So did being single.

PDF Mandatory Sentencing for Adult Property Offenders The Northern Territory Experience In 1997 the Northern Territory introduced a range of legislative changes that were commonly referred to as the mandatory sentencing legislation. This was seen as highly controversial both within the Northern Territory, and throughout Australia. This paper presents detailed statistics and a discussion of some of the major issues based on an analysis of data from the four and a half years during which mandatory sentencing was in force.
