Stop crime by sending more people to prison says Saxbe
Washington Attorney General William B. Saxbe cites an FBI report showing a 16 percent rise in crime in the first half of 1974 and argues that deterring crime requires certainty of prison time. He asserts 80 percent of felons do not serve prison time, a figure he repeats for misdemeanors. Justice officials could not verify the estimate. The FBI data show suburban and rural crime surges while major cities rise less. The SEAA plans to give $3 million to ten cities to test tougher prosecution, while funds shift from police buildings to faster trials and stronger punishment, aiming to deter crime. Boston area weather: fair Sunday and Tuesday, chance of showers Monday, highs in 60s, lows in 40s.
