Gorbachev era crime rise contrasted with United States figures
A condensed briefing contrasts Soviet crime trends with U S data, noting a 16.4 percent rise in the Soviet Union versus 5.5 percent in the United States. It highlights higher murders per capita in the USSR yet fewer rapes reported, and points to surges in burglary and robbery tied to consumer goods theft. It also recounts a Moscow police case of tourists mugged by armed criminals and quotes officials on rising lawlessness and lax enforcement. The piece closes with reader reaction to a Wheeling West Virginia note about cartel threats to President Bush and local traffic snarls.
