Questioning the latest crime concerns
I have recently seen two interesting commentaries, from two very different commentators, expressing skepticism about a purported rising crime rate that has stirred calls from some for increased police funding and harsher penalties:
- Marc Mauer, Executive Director of The Sentencing Project, has this American Prospect article entitled "What Wave?"
- John Lott, who is now the Dean's Visiting Professor at the State University of New York at Binghamton, has this FoxNews column entitled "The Crime-Statistics Con Job."
