The headline writers and the alarmists would lead us to believe we
may be losing the battle against crime, but this is no time to throw in the towel.
New Justice Initiative Successful In Tackling Internet Child Abuse
Project Safe Childhood, launched by the U.S. Department of Justice in 2006, has become a pivotal program in the fight to keep America’s children safe from sexual abuse and exploitation initiated or committed over the Internet.
Increase in Crime Is No "Gathering Storm"
Richard Rosenfeld, Curators professor of criminology and criminal justice at the University of Missouri–St. Louis, disagrees with the elected president of PERF, Chief William Bratton of the Los Angeles, CA, police department, when he calls the increase in violent crime from 2004 to 2005 “a gathering storm.”
Taking a Hard Line on Gun Crime
Of all the violent crimes committed on America’s streets, perhaps the most far-reaching and devastating ones are those that involve firearms. Not only do gun crimes permanently scar or kill their victims, but entire families can be torn apart by the loss of a loved one.
