A Gathering Storm : Violent Crime in America
http://www.policeforum.org/upload/Gathering-Storm-PRINT-Final_110473745_1027200610304.pdf
Although St. Louis and Detroit took first- and second-place “dishonors” on Morgan Quinto’s 13th annual Most Dangerous Cities list this year, crime prevention and law enforcement experts say American cities everywhere — not just the top 25 — need to be concerned with a growing trend of increasing violent crime. “For a number of cities across the country, we’re seeing a significant increase in violent crime in three major areas: in robberies, in aggravated assaults and in murder,” said Chuck Wexler, executive director of the Police Executive Research Forum, a Washington-based law enforcement think tank. 2005 numbers from the FBI showed the “largest single year percent increase in violent crime in 14 years.” Nationally, homicide increased by 3.4 percent, robberies (3.9 percent) and aggravated assaults (1.8 percent). In 2005, more than 30,600 people were murdered, robbed and assaulted than in 2004, the report said. [Marie Simonetti Rosen]. Police Executive Research Forum, 2006. Cataloged.

Global Report on Crime and Justice
http://www.uncjin.org/Special/GlobalReport.html
The globalization of crime demands a comprehensive overview of the crime and justice field. This report addresses the nature of crime, the operations of national criminal justice systems, and the state of crime prevention from a cross-national perspective. It represents crime trends and operations of criminal justice systems on a comparative basis. Drawing on numerous sources from within the United Nations and beyond, it examines emerging developments in crime and justice around the world. The Report reveals a great diversity of experiences. Special emphasis was placed on comparing both the different ways countries approach crime and on the shared perspectives that exist between countries and regions. The value derived from the data presented in this Report will help establish more fair, efficient, and humane criminal justice systems for offenders and victims of crime. Its publication sets the stage for the urgent task of combating organized crime and other emerging challenges in the field of crime prevention and criminal justice.

The Neighborhood War Zone
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/11/AR2006081101333.html
In hard-hit neighborhoods, the violence is much less about drugs and money than about girls, vendettas and trivial social frictions. These are often referred to as "disputes" in police reports and in the media. But such violence is not about anger-management problems. The code of the streets has reached a point in which not responding to a slight can destroy a reputation, while violence is a sure way to enhance it. The quick and the dead are not losing their tempers; they are following shared -- and lethal -- social expectations.

Reflections on the Crime Decline: Lessons for the Future?
http://www.urban.org/UploadedPDF/410546_CrimeDecline.pdf
Crime has been a defining characteristic of modern America. It has claimed many thousands of lives and cost billions of dollars. When crime rates began to rise in the 1960s, the "crime issue" occupied a prominent place in the U.S. national agenda, influencing electoral outcomes and spurring debates about the role of race, culture, morality, personal accountability, judicial discretion, and economic inequality. When crime rates were on the rise, discussions about crime often became ideological and polarized. Everyone agreed there was too much crime, yet there was little agreement about what should be done about it.
Despite a lack of consensus on how to address crime problems, by the end of the 20th century, crime rates had fallen to their lowest levels in a generation. Violent crime rates, which rose dramatically in the mid-1980s with the introduction of crack cocaine into U.S. inner cities, have declined every year since 1993. Property crime rates fell to half the level of a quarter century ago. Violence in families, specifically assaults between intimate partners, had been declining for several years. The steepest drop in violence occurred among young offenders.
As the 1990s drew to a close, new questions dominated the public debate on crime, questions unimaginable 10 years earlier: Why had crime rates fallen so precipitously? Why did crime rates drop more sharply in some cities than in others? Many have taken credit for this decline in crime, among them police officials, advocates of increased incarceration, prevention specialists, and community activists. Others have pointed to a relatively strong economy during the 1990s and broad demographic trends. Few of these experts agreed on next steps in the national effort to increase community safety.
More recently, these debates have intensified as new crime data show that the dramatic decline in violent crime in the nation's largest cities is leveling off, and some cities are posting new and disturbing increases in rates of violence. With the country now in a recession, law enforcement resources redeployed to reflect a national commitment to combat terrorism, and prison populations stabilizing, many of the large-scale social forces that may have contributed to the crime decline are uncertain allies as communities struggle to keep crime rates low.
