Home Mail Articles Stats/current ... Links LBO The costs of crime by J.W. Mason J.W. Mason was a reporter for LBO when he wrote this piece; he's now working somewhere in DC. Suppose you could calculate the dollar value of the costs of crime - lost property, medical bills, missed work, pain and suffering - and figure out its total yearly cost to society? While "putting a dollar value on the suffering resulting from crime might seem cold and impersonal, such information is useful in the policy arena." For example, "is a patrol pattern that prevents a rape better than one that prevents three burglaries?" The answer, it turns out, is yes: 20.7 times better, in fact. Who would have guessed it? The quotes and figure come from "Victim Costs and Consequences: A New Look," a study by Mark Cohen, Ted Miller, and Brian Wiersema (CM&W) published with some fanfare by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) this spring. This study, building on earlier work by Miller and Cohen, adds up seven types of cost (lost productivity, medical care, mental health care, police and fire services, social services, property loss and damage, and lost quality of life) for a dozen types of crime. The bill, by their reckoning, comes to $447 billion a year. What's wrong Getting spongier All these problems aside, at least there are some dollar values to base the estimates on. But what about the "lost quality of life" of crime victims? Suffering has no market value, concede CM&W, but "[n]evertheless, these losses are real. Victims would pay dearly to avoid them." How can you measure the dollar value of something with no market price?

Death Penalty The Costs of the Death Penalty in the United States Capital punishment has existed in the US since colonial times. Since then, more than 13,000 people have been legally executed. Today, there are only twelve states which do not have the death penalty: Alaska, Hawaii, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia and Wisconsin, as well as Washington D.C. The locations of these states are important because they illustrate the lack of ideological homogeneity usually associated with geographical regions of the US. The methods of execution are as varied as their locations. The word "capital" in capital punishment refers to a person’s head, as, historically, execution was performed by cutting off the head. Today, there are generally five methods of execution used in the US. Hanging, the gas chamber, lethal injection, the electric chair and the firing squad are all used, some notably less than others. In 1930, the Bureau of Justice Statistics began keeping stats on capital punishment nationwide. From 1930 until 1967, 3859 people were executed in the US, 3334 for murder (www. uaa). That’s an average of almost 105 people per year, three out of five of which were executed in the South. By 1967, all but ten states had laws for capital punishment. Nationally, strong pressure was steadily placed on the federal government by those opposed to capital punishment which resulted in an unofficial moratorium on executions until 1976. Officially, the Supreme Court ruled capital punishment unconstitutional in 1972. In Furman v. Georgia,408 U.S. 238 (1972), a 5-4

The OPE Campus Security Statistics Website is your direct link to reported criminal offenses for over 6000 colleges and universities in the United States. If you are thinking of attending college in a large urban city, a small liberal arts college, a specialized college, or a community college you can find their security statistics here. The OPE Campus Security Statistics Website is brought to you by the Office of Postsecondary Education of the U.S. Department of Education. It was authorized by Congress with the 1998 amendment to the Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA) to help potential college students and their parents research criminal offenses on college campuses. The Department of Education is committed to assisting schools in providing students with a safe environment in which to learn and to keep parents and students well informed about campus security. By October 1 of each year, a school that is Title IV eligible is required to publish and distribute an annual campus security report to all current students and employees. In addition to the required annual campus security report, schools are required to provide timely warning of the occurrences of crimes that are reported to campus security authorities and local police agencies. The timely warning information is to be provided in an appropriate manner so as to prevent similar crimes from occurring and to protect the personal safety of students and employees. The OPE Campus Security Statistics Website is also linked to the National Center for Education Statistics

Nearly 25 percent of American women report being raped and/or physically assaulted by a current or former spouse, cohabiting partner, or date at some time in their lifetime, according to the National Violence Against Women Survey, conducted from November 1995 to May 1996. Thirty percent of Americans say they know a woman who has been physically abused by her husband or boyfriend in the past year.

72. Costs Of Policing suggested that the report s finding about the huge costs of criminal justicemight lead some states to consider a new strategy for dealing with crime. http://www.policetalk.com/costs_of_policing.html

February 11, 2002 Study Finds Steady Increase in Cost of Criminal Justice By FOX BUTTERFIELD The cost of combating crime in the United States, for police, prisons and courts, was $147 billion in 1999, the last year for which figures are available, according to a study released yesterday by the Bureau of Justice Statistics. That is more than four times the $36 billion spent on the criminal justice system in 1982. Federal, state and local expenditures for police, prisons and courts increased every year in the 1990's, even as crime fell during the decade. Nearly 2.2 million people work in the criminal justice system, including one million police officers, 717,000 prison and jail guards and 455,000 people in the courts, the report said. The expenditures amount to 7.7 percent of all state and local government spending and are about the same as government spending on hospitals and health care. The report did not directly address the question of how effective the spending has been. But it did find that in general, crime rates and spending on criminal justice were related, though not in the sense that many people believe. "States with high crime rates tend to have higher than average expenditures and employment" devoted to criminal justice, the report said, while states with the lowest crime rates tend to have the lowest spending and employment.

PUBLISHED OPINION APPEALS DECISION DATED AND FILED NOTICE SEPTEMBER 16, 1997 This opinion is subject to further editing. If published, the official version will appear in the bound volume of the Official Reports. Marilyn L. Graves Clerk, Court of Appeals of Wisconsin A party may file with the Supreme Court a petition to review an adverse decision by the Court of Appeals. See No. 97-1095-CR STATE OF WISCONSIN IN COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT III State of Wisconsin, Plaintiff-Respondent, v. Michael R. Bender, Defendant-Appellant. APPEAL from a judgment of the circuit court for Washburn County: WARREN WINTON, Judge. Affirmed. Before Cane, P.J, Myse and Hoover, JJ. The underlying facts are not disputed. Bender was sentenced on February 21, 1996, after having been found guilty of first-degree reckless endangerment, party to a crime, and aggravated battery, party to a crime. The victim of Bender's crimes, Nancy Porter, moved from Wisconsin to Florida prior to Bender's jury trial. The Washburn County Sheriff's Department arranged with Transcore America, Inc., to transport Porter from Florida to Wisconsin to testify at Bender's trial. Transcore submitted invoices to the sheriff's department totaling $1,622.25 for its services. At sentencing, the trial court ordered Bender to pay restitution for one-half of the cost of bringing Porter back to Wisconsin from Florida to testify at his trial. Whether the trial court had the authority to order payment of this sum is a question of law that we decide without deference to the trial court.

MSNBC Shopping Search MSNBC: Advanced Search Yakima, WA Top Stories Local Sports Your Weather KNDO-TV MAKE THIS YOUR LOCAL NEWS TOP STORIES FROM: Increase in Violent Crime Linked to Gangs By Katherine Davis KNDO-TV May 18 - The results of a new crime study are in, and violent crime in the city of Yakima is way up. While crime overall decreased by about six percent, violent crimes were up nearly 22 percent. The new crime stats come from the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs. But just because violent crime is up doesn't necessarily mean you're any more likely to become a victim. Police say the rise in violent crime comes down to gangs. They say it's a matter of the two main gangs in Yakima, the red and the blue, battling each other. But they say average people who aren't involved in gangs probably aren't at any greater risk. YPD is fighting back against gang violence with their new gang unit. "We've identified them as being the main source of the increase we had from last year," said Captain Greg Copeland. "So that's why we're targeting them and maybe try to pay some more attention to them so that maybe we can do something about that."
