crime in the usa

in the usa, as elsewhere, the cause of serious crime are hotly debated and many reasons for it are suggested. among these are unemployment, drag-abuse, poverty, inadequate police enforcement, ineffective courts, racial discrimination, consumerism, television, and ‘a general decline in middle-class values’.
surprisingly, a major study of crime in the usa carried out by north-western university in 1982 found that ‘the number of poor people in a city is only marginally related to property or violent crime’. in other words, american cities with a higher rate of unemployment and poverty do not necessarily also have a higher crime rate.
many experts are coming to believe that only grass-roots efforts to improve community life overall will have a lasting effect. many communities across the nation have started their own campaigns against crime, encouraging their citizens to participate in crime-prevention programs and to report crimes. several civil rights groups actively support such ‘self-help’ campaigns. in some neighborhoods, citizens participate in ‘neighborhood watch’ programs and organize groups to patrol the streets.
public opinion pools show that most americans feel hand-guns are responsible for the high murder rate. a majority of americans favour laws which would ban the private ownership of all hand-guns.
