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: The United States is the only western democracy that continues to use the death penalty. The U.S. stands with countries like China, Iran, Iraq, and Pakistan in its continued use of the death penalty. We are third only to China and the Democratic Republic of the Congo in total number of executions since 1998. The death penalty is more expensive than life in prison. Various state governments estimate that a single death penalty case from arrest to execution ranges from $1 million up to $7 million. Cases resulting in life imprisonment average around $500,000 each, including incarceration cost. State and federal budget deficits ensure civic programs will be cut in order to finance capital trials.

Extractions: The Capital-Journal Burglary is an infuriating crime that leaves its victims feeling violated. Burglary victims and Topeka police alike say penalties for the offense should be severe. Under the state's sentencing guidelines law, burglary is a property crime and is punishable by presumptive probation. That means the offender is placed on probation and remains in the community. "We receive a lot of complaints from citizens that the people who are convicted of burglarizing their homes are not getting enough (incarceration) time," said Topeka police spokesman Lt. John Sidwell. "Without a doubt there is a general public perception that the burglary offenders are getting off easy." The Kansas Sentencing Commission has heard that complaint, said Barbara Tombs, executive director of that body. In 1999, the commission proposed and the Legislature approved a change in sentencing guidelines to provide that any second and subsequent convictions for burglary would bring presumptive prison sentences. "The way sentencing guidelines were originally passed, it was difficult to go to prison," Tombs said. "We looked at it and thought that was the best way to handle it.

Extractions: March 1997 Crime is defined as " any act which the soverign has deemed contrary to the public good: a wrong which the government has determined is injurious to the public and, hence, prosecutable in a criminal proceeding. (BARROWS LAW DICTIONARY, 1984) . Criminal acts range from the heinous to the mundane, defined within the context of the society in which they're committed. When a person engages in a behavior that society has deemed to be punishable by imprisonment, does the imprisonment have a positive or negative impact? Edward Zamble (1992) conducted a long term study of prison inmates, ,ensuring behavior, emotional states, and cognitions. The results of this study were that adaptation improved over time. The inmates became more involved with the prison structure, had less emotional problems and less physical symptom complaints. (Zamble, 1992).

Extractions: The recent FBI report that crime rates have plunged seven years in a row should be cause for great joy. But many police officials instead have expressed frustration that much of the public still doesn't believe they have. He blamed the media for fueling public perceptions that crime still rages and criminals lurk behind every street lamp. But for many who call the shots in TV newsrooms, frustrated police officials and FBI crime stats aren't likely to change how they present crime news. They've spent the past two decades turning TV- crime verite into a sure fire formula for ratings. That formula is ridiculously simple. Just have helicopters and mobile camera crews hover over or roam around city streets looking for police car chases, dead bodies, gang shoot-outs, and drug busts. And most importantly, make sure those city streets are in black and Latino neighborhoods. The formula is bloody, exploitative, and racist. But it is a smash success. It has hooked so many Americans on the murder and mayhem nightly news broadcasts that the networks have spun off a legion of hybrid clones. These shows simulate live-action crime chases and busts and worse they almost always depict blacks and Latinos as violent criminals. This has convinced many white suburbanites that their lives are at grave risk from violence-prone, drugged out Latinos and African-Americans.

Extractions: by Malcolm Howard JANUARY 13, 2000: Standing next to a stark, black-and-white chart showing the number of prisoners behind bars in Colorado, activist Christie Donner rattles off statistics that she says support her call for a moratorium on new prison construction in the state. 'Prison construction now takes up one-third of the state's capital construction budget,' Donner told a group of about three dozen residents gathered at downtown's St. Mary's Cathedral earlier this week. 'And it's been increasing.' Donner spoke as part of a statewide, grass-roots effort to raise support for Senate Bill 00-104. Introduced in the state Senate last week, the bill would forbid new prison construction in the state until 2003. Inmate population quintupled A few of the facts cited during Donner's two-hour talk: The prison moratorium bill, Donner argued, would give lawmakers a chance to stop and look at the real costs of increased incarceration. Among other things, the proposed bill would create a 17-member task force that would study the causes behind the state's massive prison boom and suggest possible countermeasures. Made up of experts appointed by various sectors in the criminal justice system, the task force would study minority representation in prison, the availability of drug treatment programs behind bars and the role of parole policies.

This has convinced many white suburbanites that their lives are at grave risk from violence-prone, drugged-out Latinos and African-Americans. It has boosted the number of persons jailed in America to a record high 2 million persons. This is the largest number of any nation on the planet. According to the Sentencing Project, a Washington D.C.-based public advocacy group, California alone has built 21 new prisons since 1984, and taxpayers cough up $4 billion yearly to run them. In the same period the state could manage to scrounge up only enough funds to build one new university campus despite a bulging student population. It has prompted passage of an avalanche of three strikes laws, and other draconian drug laws, which have locked up mostly black and Latino offenders for nonviolent property or drug-related crimes.

Extractions: from the August 18, 2003 edition - http://www.csmonitor.com/2003/0818/p02s01-usju.html A report highlights extent to which many citizens have served time in prison. By Gail Russell Chaddock WASHINGTON - More than 5.6 million Americans are in prison or have served time there, according to a new report by the Justice Department released Sunday. That's 1 in 37 adults living in the United States, the highest incarceration level in the world. It's the first time the US government has released estimates of the extent of imprisonment, and the report's statistics have broad implications for everything from state fiscal crises to how other nations view the American experience. If current trends continue, it means that a black male in the United States would have about a 1 in 3 chance of going to prison during his lifetime. For a Hispanic male, it's 1 in 6; for a white male, 1 in 17. The numbers come after many years of get-tough policies - and years when violent-crime rates have generally fallen. But to some observers, they point to broader failures in US society, particularly in regard to racial minorities and others who are economically disadvantaged. "These new numbers are shocking enough, but what we don't see are the ripple effects of what they mean: For the generation of black children today, there's almost an inevitable aspect of going to prison," says Marc Mauer, assistant director of The Sentencing Project, a nonprofit advocacy group based in Washington. "We have the wealthiest society in human history, and we maintain the highest level of imprisonment. It's striking what that says about our approach to social problems and inequality."
