For instance, in 1960 there were 161 reported violent crimes per 100,000 people By 1992, the figure had jumped to 758 per 100,000 -- a rise of over 350 %. Mor .....

In some communities, the police ignore many children who are accused of minor delinquencies or refer them directly to their parents. But in other communities, the police may refer such children to a juvenile court, where they may officially be declared delinquents.

THOU SHALL NOT PROBE INTO PEOPLE’S PRIVATE LIVES Another region where the media needs to be much less involved is in that of people’s private lives. Take for instance the Clinton sex scandal. This is clearly a personal matter b .....
