Try those sites and see what you come up with. d_ottr gave this follow-up answer on 4/6/2000: I was just surfing around Amnesty 200, and got linked to the site: http://www.csdp.org Thye have a page on Prison stas (When you get to the site, scroll down the right column to prison, and click on that) Once again, they may be the adversary of drug ENFORCEMENT, but they are usually pretty close on the stats.

Extractions: Home About Gannett News from Gannett Investor Relations ... Jobs CRIME STATS DON'T TELL WHOLE STORY, JUSTICE OFFICIAL SAYS By Amy Zurzola, Metro Reporter, Asbury Park Press Six years of falling crime statistics are good news, but the numbers are not the whole story, Deputy U.S. Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. told the Gannett National Conference for Reporters and Editors. Much news coverage of crime nationwide focuses on drops in the murder rate and juvenile crime, but statistics cannot measure the effects of crime, its impact on victims' families and on those arrested, Holder said in a luncheon keynote speech. Clinton administration anti-crime initiatives and increased community involvement in crime prevention have been catalysts for change, but new and troubling crime trends are emerging, Holder said. Crime in rural areas increased by 1 percent this year, due in part to a thriving methamphetamine market that spurred drug-related violence. Rape numbers have not decreased, even though other violent crimes have. "We must not be complacent as a result of our recent downturns,'' he said.

Crime Stats Tell Only Part Of The Story On Safety Place an ad. crime stats tell only part of the story on safety had the clout at the state level to impose tougher criminal penalties and build more prisons. http://www.freep.com/voices/editorials/ecrim3_20010803.htm
Extractions: Place an ad August 3, 2001 Statistically, America is a safer place. Violent crime fell by a record 15 percent last year, according to the federal Bureau of Justice Statistics. Democrats will say it is because they found the money at the federal level to put more police on the streets during the '90s. Republicans will say it is because they had the clout at the state level to impose tougher criminal penalties and build more prisons. Police will say it's still pretty tough out there, and cite FBI stats showing the level of violent crime to be about where it was a year ago. The Washington-based Statistical Assessment Service says crime numbers can produce a "virtuous circle" if the numbers are down, people are more inclined to report crimes such as assault because they feel as if something's going to be done. That may cause the next set of numbers to go up. But as politicians and law enforcement wrangle over which numbers show what and why, the real issue is how people behave. Do we feel safer and act accordingly? Simple observation indicates not. There are more doors locked, more security systems in place, more cell phones, more guns all indicators of a society that feels less safe, even if the prisons are more full.
Three Strikes Law Not A Solution To Crime with phony crime stats as the only justification for it. Three Strikes is a bad law put into place by bad politicians needing financing for 36 prisons that http://www.geocities.com/capitolhill/parliament/2398/advice4.htm
Extractions: There's a great deal of mass brainwash which happens when the news media prints the government press releases about crime statistics without ever mentioning the fact that they are useless. The public has been suckered with soundbites and statistics into thinking that crime is down because of Three Strikes, Mandatory Minimums, the Death Penalty and Prisons. Nothing is further from the truth. The Orange County Register, New York Times and Pennsylvania Newspapers have clearly exposed at least 15 variables in the way the statistics are prepared which make them useless as a true measure of crime. (Click on the link below for many of these variables) Manipulated statistics are a gimmick to justify billions of dollars in building up a police state and nothing more! For example, not all police agencies report every year. Oakland hasn't reported for four years and the number of agencies who do report vary every single year. On this one variable alone, no previous year's crime statistics can be compared to another one accurately. Participation in reporting by the various agencies is strictly voluntary. They cannot be construed as factual!
ABCNEWS.com : Will: More Bad 'Times' On Prison Stats increasing imprisonments. A 1997 times story was headlined crime Keeps on Falling, but prisons Keep on Filling. . The Times thought http://abcnews.go.com/sections/ThisWeek/Politics/george_will030803.html
Extractions: Aug. 3 The New York Times did it again. Year after year, the same Times reporter, Fox Butterfield, writes a story with some variant of the same theme. In last week's story, the secondary headline was "More Inmates, Despite Slight Drop in Crime." Perhaps there is a drop in crime because more criminals are in prison. Same Old Story Three years ago, another Times story again used the word "despite:" "Number in Prison Grows Despite Crime Reduction." At The Times , it must be unthinkable that crime is reduced by increasing imprisonments. A 1997 times story was headlined: "Crime Keeps on Falling, but Prisons Keep on Filling."

Extractions: Crime is the most important subject on the public agenda today according to most national polls. Citizens of all races are fearful of violence and concerned about their own safety. People want their legislators and law enforcement leaders at all levels of government to develop effective strategies to reduce crime and ensure safety. This web page provides a compilation of resources on this topic, including both resources that are available in the Michigan State University Main Library as well as those that are available over the world wide web. In the most comprehensive study of its type, an article in the October issue of the Journal of Law and Economics (University of Chicago Press) says that crime costs $4,100 per person, or $1.7 trillion in 1997 dollars. The report, researched and written by David Anderson, an economist at Davidson College in North Carolina, covered such details as police and private security expenses, corrections costs, expense of crime-related injuries, amount of theft. Anderson says that criminals annually steal $603 billion in assets while also creating an additional $1.1 trillion worth of lost productivity.

F.B.I. : Uniform Crime Report RAND JACK RILEY: Well, I think you have to look for something that would help explain why crime fell rather substantially across most of the country and at approximately the same time. And there are very few things that can meet those two criteria in terms of explaining what happened to crime. I would point first to demographics. There's been a rather substantial change in the number of people in the age 15 to 24 bracket that commit most of the crimes here in the country or that are most likely to commit crime, and the second factor is probably economic growth in combination with reduced opportunities in drug marketing and drug trafficking because of declines in drug use.

Extractions: As A Shameful Social Problem Ex-Con Nation We locked 'em up. They're getting out. What do we do now? by David Plotz Every year, the United States sets two prison records-one we talk about, and one we don't. Our mania for incarceration is common knowledge: The number of state and federal prisoners has quadrupled to 1.3 million in the past 25 years. But Americans have paid no attention at all to the backdoor of the prison. Inmates are arriving at an unprecedented rate, but they are also leaving at one. This year, American prisons will release more than 600,000 inmates, up from 170,000 in 1980. (To put it another way, a city with a population larger than Washington, D.C., leaves prison every year. And this does not even count the hundreds of thousands of lesser criminals who finish short jail sentences.) We lock them up, but we don't throw away the key. For all the hoopla that surrounds the death penalty and life sentences, only a teeny fraction of inmates-fewer than 4,000 per year-actually die in prison. Those who study "prisoner re-entry" have a new catch phrase to describe prisoners returning home: "They all come back."

Extractions: Prison Statistics, 1990 - 2000 Certain Information from the Bureau of Justice Statistics Bulletin Overall, the United States incarcerated 2,071,686 persons at year end 2000." That's 478 inmates per 100,000 US residents. California (163,001 inmates), Texas (157,997), and the Federal system 145,416) together held 1 in every 3 prisoners in the Nation. By the end of 2000, State Prisons were operating between full capacity and 15% above capacity. Between 1990 and 2000 the number of State correctional facilities increased by 351. States also added over 528,000 beds, an 81% increase. Since 1990 the number of male inmates has increased by 77%, and the number of female inmates has increased by 108%. In the year 2000 the Federal inmate population rose by 9.4%. Since 1990, the Federal System has increased by 148%. Among the more than 1.3 million sentenced inmates (not including those in jail custody) at yearend, an estimated 428,300 were black males between the ages of 20 and 39. This means that 9.7% of all black males between the ages of 25 and 29 were in prisons. At yearend 2000, 1 in every 143 US residents were incarcerated in State or Federal prisons or a local jail.
