South Carolinians fear of crime drops four years
A USC poll shows 65 percent of South Carolinians worry about personal safety, down from 80 percent in 1996, while crime statewide fell 8.5 percent since 1996. The nationwide trend also shows declines, aided by policing, drug courts, and stricter penalties. Blacks report higher fear than whites, and views on gun laws split, with 48 percent saying laws are too easy and 49 percent supporting stricter controls.
