* homicides have nearly tripled; robberies and rapes each are up over 500
* percent; aggravated assaults have increased more than 600 percent."
*
* Crime is a white-hot public issue that has been shamelessly exploited by
* cynical leaders for their own political and administrative advantage. Here

* United States is in many ways more important than crime itself. [Most

* with crime.
*
* This procedure is considered highly reliable...and every year they publish
* an authoritative annual report summarizing criminal victimization.
*

* most widespread crimes of violence. These are terrifying events that
* legitimately generate serious public concern about
