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. Get crime and prison statistics directly from another country's government page. See what data are gathered about firearms from groups and organizations on every side of the issue. 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.

Following the Justice Department's annual release of prison statistics, Fox Butterfield of the NY Times today writes everybody's standard story on "the paradox of a falling crime rate but a rising prison population", entitled Despite Drop in Crime, an Increase in Inmates Of course, it's oblivious to any even theoretical possibility that putting more criminals in prison might reduce the number of crimes they commit outside of it and so resolve the "paradox" that one might expect a drop in crime because of an increase in inmates. But let's skip that for now.

87. 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

Jesse Ventura on Crime Opposes “Three Strikes”; leave discretion to judges I’m against legislation that puts the state or federal government on the position of caring for somebody for life for trivial reasons. That’s why I’m opposed to the Three Strikes law, as it’s now written. We should be prosecuting felons severely the firs time around. If somebody has done a violent crime and served his time, you don’t 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 it’s 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

Peter Saunders and Nicole Billante 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.

Chairman: Pemberton, E.Leigh Abstract: Abundant statistical data on crime and the operation of the law. Prefatory report summarizes the work of the committee in compiling the statistics, explaining sources and experts consulted, methodology, and the layout of the volume. Appendices includes list of indictable offences with relevant statutes. Introduction to the statistics discusses the answers suggested by them to 6 questions of particular interests: 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.

Go Back To Page 1 Prison Reform Movement Grows Jesse Boyar, whose son Patrick has been in the Corcoran SHU for 12 years, has protested the prison alone for years. Patrick has been stabbed and falsely identified with gang affiliations. Caroline Silver Fawn Kitt's husband was beaten nearly to death at Folsom prison last week. She suffers from severe arthritis but piped up "no one is going to stop me from protesting for my husband." 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.
