California Attorneys For Criminal Justice

Q.I read that according to the 1998 Crime Index, for the SEVENTH straight year, serious crimes have dropped nationwide, particularly among Blacks. Teenage pregnancy has been steadily dropping, primarily among Blacks, and the economic status of Blacks have been climbing. I be somebody! I be somebody! I be somebody. Say it out loud, I'm black and I'm proud. if you just keep saying it over and over even you might start believing it. Nobody else will. The negro's outrageous statistics for violent crime and OOW breeding drops slightly and you niggers break your arms patting yourselves on the back, stealing the credit from the justice dept. As more niggers are locked up the less crime, OOW breeding you have dumbass! Any ideas to share???

A.Rose, a sociologist at New York's John Jay College of Criminal Justice, found that in high-crime neighborhoods..., crime reductions were lower in those with the greatest number of people moving in and out of prison. With high incarceration rates, she argues, prison can be transformed from a crime deterrent into a factor that fuels a cycle of crime and disorder by breaking up families, souring attitudes toward the criminal justice system and leaving communities populated with too many people hardened by the experience of going to prison. Authorities say the case is far from unique. Throughout the country, hundreds of thousands -- if not millions -- of warrants are outstanding for people wanted on felony offenses. The numbers are stretching the resources of local police and raising fears that criminals are slipping through the cracks. "A lot of the state and local authorities just don't have the money or the resources" to track down fugitives, said Arthur Roderick, chief of domestic investigations at the U.S. Marshals Service. The FBI's National Crime Information Center, which police use for background checks on suspects, lists 516,000 outstanding warrants, the vast majority for felonies. Though many cases are solved each year, the list of open cases has grown from 340,000 in 1990. "There is no deterrent in the criminal justice system if criminals know that they can go months, years or decades without ever paying for their first crime and can go on and commit dozens more." "We can't have a system where the chances are basically like the lottery for a fugitive ever getting caught,".. In California, a San Francisco Chronicle report found that almost 223,000 individuals are wanted on felony warrants -- including 2,690 for homicide, 1,470 for sexual assault, and 74,000 for drug offenses. "These numbers are startling and disturbing and represent a serious defect in the criminal justice system," California Attorney General Bill Lockyer told the paper.
