NEWS AND VIEWS
May 8, 2012 - Crime in the United States
For some 20 years, the Institute for Economics and Peace has been reporting on crime in the U.S., using its own measures of violent crime, incarceration, police manpower and access to small arms. For 20 years, Louisiana has been the most violent state. Arkansas this year was 43rd of 50 states, meaning it is close to the bottom of the list.
When you view the most violent states, you’ll see that the bottom of the country is at the top of the list – Texas, Florida, Arizona, Louisiana, the southeast states. The Northeast states are the most peaceful. You might call this the Mason-Dixon effect, or the humidity factor. If Maine is frozen half the year, who wants to trudge around doing violent acts? But hot just makes you irritable, and is violence soon to follow?
The institute’s viewpoint on crime is interesting, but the reality is anyone anywhere at any time can be a victim of crime. No one wants to be a statistic, because by then everything’s over but the crying. (TDH)
April 10, 2012 - The dangers of police work
Crime in the U.S. has been on a long-term decline, but a recent spike in law-enforcement murders has authorities perplexed. Better training and gear contributed to drops in police fatalities due to violent acts, but vehicle crashes moved to the top.
This trend, documented by FBI surveys, just points to the dangers still part of our society, despite less lawlessness.
Don’t hesitate to thank your local officers for taking on a dangerous and in many instances thank-less job. And curb yourself, and others around you, when you get the urge to sass-talk an officer who everyday agrees to run toward danger, not away from it, on your behalf. (TDH)
