Editorial A Few Thoughts On Our Crime Wave
The 1969 crime report from the FBI and DOJ shows a 12 percent rise from 1968 and a 151 percent increase since 1950. It highlights youth crime, a shift from cities to suburbs, and 86 police officers killed in felonious action, with most killers aged 20 to 30. The piece argues poverty is not the sole cause and urges character education at home, school, church, and community to curb crime, stressing prevention over harsher jails.
