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.
