It does not seem to matter that this approach has yet to slow the increasing rate of criminal activity—we're going to be tough on crime, dammit The $23 billion crime package passed by the Senate this week is no exception. While some portions of the bill, such as the ban on 19 types of military-style assault weapons, are a step in the right direction, the bill simply doesn't address the true cause of crime. We're treating the symptoms of deep divisions and economic malaise (albeit with a harsh, sandpaper band-aid). Building 10 more high-security prisons and adding 100,000 more police nationwide certainly sounds good, especially toconstituent s back home tired of feeling unsafe walking at night in the city. Yet, this nation has more of its citizens locked up than any other nation on earth to no avail. The United States is also a world leader in homicides, yet being one of the last Western democracies to institute the death penalty has done nothing to turn that dubious distinction around. Killing our killers also sounds tough, but it isn't effective. Those on death row aren't responsible for the soaring homicide rate; they've got a lot of help. Killing a few select bad guys (who are not killing anyone because they're locked up anyway) doesn't do anything besides ©im&ER&Qw^ waste electricity. Teenagers not old enough to get their driver's license are mowing down their neighbors with AK-47s. How does expanding the death penalty prevent this from happening? Joey Buttafuoco gets just desserts for In Idaho, for example, the get-tough-on-crime shtick has gone to ludicrous extremes. A 15-year-old high school student was arrested for betraying his wife, lying about Amy Fisher possessing one gram of marijuana.
