Extractions: [quote]San Francisco, CA: A new Justice Policy Institute study reveals that California leads the nation in drug offender imprisonment. The study also reveals that California counties that most vigorously pursued harsh enforcement strategies did not experience greater declines in drug use or crime. [/quote] We knew this a while ago. Drug use was declining at the end of the 1970's, when Reagan took office. It is important to know that the contemporary analytical perspective is that Reagan's version of the War on Drugs actually increased use. Those of us who observed the cocaine-fed money-frenzy during the Decade of Greed need no statistics to see this, but data at the Schaeffer Library ( [url="http://www.druglibrary.org"]www.druglibrary.org[/url] ) or Common-Sense Drug Policy ( [url="http://www.csdp.org"]www.csdp.org[/url] ), as well as the Sentencing Project (I need to check on that one later) show that drug arrests increased through the 1980's while drug use may well have been continuing its decline.

Extractions: Two assumptions are behind recent legislation passed in many U.S. states which make it easier to try juvenile offenders as adults. Although there has not been extensive research into the deterrent effects of the stricter laws, the evidence that does exist indicates that deterrent effects are minimal or nonexistent, and that, in fact, trying juveniles in criminal court may actually result in higher rates of reoffending. To date, there's no extensive research comparing the lengths of prison sentences received by juveniles convicted in criminal court with those who remained in the juvenile system. What research exists indicates that juveniles convicted in criminal court, particularly serious and violent offenders, are more likely to be incarcerated and receive longer sentences than juveniles retained in the juvenile system. Despite this, however, they often actually serve only a fraction of the sentences imposed, in many cases less time than they would have served in a juvenile facility. A 1996 Texas study found that juveniles sentenced in adult court did receive longer terms than they would have received in juvenile court. However, for all offenses except rape, the average prison time actually served was only about 27 percent of the sentence imposed, in some cases shorter than the possible sentence length in a juvenile facility.
Extractions: Embargoed until Thursday, 3 December 1998 Crime and Justice Statistics for Western Australia, 1997 There is no evidence to support the notion that Western Australia has been in the grip of a "crime epidemic", according to the latest statistics on crime and criminal justice in WA. The findings are contained in the eighth edition of Crime and Justice Statistics for Western Australia - a regular series produced by researchers at the Crime Research Centre, University of Western Australia. Authors of the 1997 report are Ms Anna Ferrante, Ms Nini Loh and Mr John Fernandez. Senior author of the report, Ms Anna Ferrante said that there was little change in the overall recorded crime rate between 1996 and 1997. The total number of reported offences rose by 3%, however, once population growth had been taken into account, the rate had remained fairly stable at 15,702 offences per 100,000 persons. For against person (violent) offences, the rate was constant at about 1,100 per 100,000 persons, that is, about 11 persons in every 1,000 reported being a victim of violence in 1997. "The trend in the robbery rate is disturbing. However, the WA rate is still on a par with the national average, and still well below the robbery rate of New South Wales." Ms Ferrante said.

Extractions: As of August 1, 1997, 96.1% of Washington, D.C. prisoners are Black, and only 1.5% are non-Hispanic white.(1) We calculate imprisonment rates per 100,000 as 2,782 for Blacks and 94 for whites (combining men and women).(4) The overall U.S. Black incarceration rate was 1,947 per 100,000 in 1992-1993, and 306 for whites.(3) This means the Black imprisonment rates are worse in D.C. than in the rest of the country, and much lower for whites. Unlike most of the country, Washington had a declining prison population from 1992 to 1996. This is probably the result of a weak government and police force. The number of sworn police officers fell from 5,679 in 1991 to 3,815 in 1995 (the most recent number we found), so there were less people to make arrests. From 1992 to 1996 the number of prisoners per 100,000 population dropped by 12%, from 1,973 to 1,739. However, in 1997 the rate bounced back up 6%, to 1,841.(1) This counts all prisoners, while the Federal government's lower "prison incarceration rate" (1,373 in 1997) includes only those sentenced to a year or more.(2) 1997 D.C.

Extractions: But Why? S ince 1991, crime rates have been dropping. In the last year (1998) for which figures are available, major crime decreased by an estimated 7 percent nationally and 5.2 percent in Texas. Preliminary reports on the incidence of crime in 1999 indicate a continuing drop. Nationally in 1998, according to Uniform Crime Report data reported to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, robbery was down 11 percent, motor vehicle theft 10 percent, murder 8 percent, burglary 7 percent, larceny 6 percent, and sexual assault and aggravated assault 5 percent each. No longer is it a question of whether crime is decreasing, but of "Why?" Larry Hoover, director of the Police Research Center at Sam Houston State University, offered some answers.

Extractions: Home Mail Articles Stats/current ... Links The following article appeared in Left Business Observer There is no question that the U.S. is one of the most violent societies on earth, a heritage that goes back to the first European settlers who regarded the indigenous population as so much underbrush to be cleared. Our murder rates, for example, are anywhere from two to ten times those prevailing in Western Europe and Japan. But is the crime rate soaring, as Clinton and TV newsblasters say? No. Take murder, which is not only the gravest crime, but the one for which the best statistics exist. Other crimes, like rape and robbery, are frequently not reported to police but the cops have a very good idea of the number of murders that occur. The number of murders per 100,000 population has doubled since 1960 the president conveniently forgot the population increase, no doubt to keep his nice threefold structure intact, and to exaggerate the problem but almost all that doubling happened in the 1960s and early 1970s. In 1992, 9.3 people were murdered per 100,000 persons, a bit above early-1980s levels, but little changed from 1970s levels. Of course the rate is 9.3 too high, but the trend doesn't comport with the public hysteria. Numbers covering crimes other than murder are far spongier. Police statistics, which show a near-doubling in the violent crime rate (i.e., rate per 100,000 persons, rather than raw numbers) may just be reflecting a greater propensity to call the cops. Also, not all police departments fill out the forms they file with the FBI with equal degrees of competence or care. A better method of studying crime trends is the Justice Department's National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), which it has carried out annually since 1973. The NCVS is a poll that asks respondents whether they've been victims of a crime during the survey period. While people do lie to pollsters, there's no reason to believe they lie more or less now than they did 10 or 20 years ago. So, in the words of Tony Pate, research director of the Police Foundation, the NCVS "is a preferable indicator, seeking as it does to get at unreported crime and [since it is] applied in a standardized fashion over time."
