| | A crime is an act which violates a law of a government, nation-state, or jurisdiction, for which there is no successful defense. | | | Also, in order for a crime to be prosecuted, corpus delicti (or "proof of a crime") must be established. | | | It may be a crime to aid someone else in committing a crime, or induce him or her to commit one; if it is an offence against the US one is even punishable as a principal. |

| | U.S. crime rate holds at 30-year lows - Crime & Punishment - MSNBC.com |
| | Property crimes tended to occur more often in 2003 in the West (207 crimes per 1,000 households), among people who rent rather than own (206 crimes vs. 143 crimes per 1,000) and in urban areas (216 crimes per 1,000) rather than suburban or rural areas (145 and 137 per 1,000, respectively). | | | Violent crime rate has dropped in every income category by at least 40 percent between 1993 and 2003. | | | The low crime rate also has made the problem much less of an issue in national political campaigns. |

| | Reason: Gun Control’s Twisted Outcome |
| | Even more sweeping was the 1953 Prevention of Crime Act, which made it illegal to carry in a public place any article "made, adapted, or intended" for an offensive purpose "without lawful authority or excuse." Carrying something to protect yourself was branded antisocial. | | | The original common law standard was similar to what still prevails in the U.S. Americans are free to carry articles for their protection, and in 33 states law-abiding citizens may carry concealed guns. | | | This is a reversal of centuries of common law that not only permitted but expected individuals to defend themselves, their families, and their neighbors when other help was not available. |

| | State: County crime rate rises |
| | Law enforcement officials attribute the drop in the state's crime rate to a robust economy and enforcement measures such as the "10-20-Life" law, which increases prison time for criminals who use guns. | | | Although the state's crime rate went down, the actual number of crimes in Florida increased slightly. | | | "This is no time to claim the war on crime is over," said Jerry Blair, state attorney for the 3rd Judicial Circuit in the northwest part of the state. |

| | Jamaica Gleaner - Crime rate drops - Wednesday August 4, 2004 |
| | Although as at yesterday the country's murder toll stood at nearly 800, the halving of the weekly murder rate over the past month-and-a-half should come as a welcome relief to law enforcers and government officials who are fast losing the confidence of the public to arrest the country's spiralling crime rate. | | | In recent months, local law enforcement officials have arrested high-profile alleged drug lords, two of whom have been named as 'drug kingpins' by the United States Government. | | | This claim was substantiated by Superintendent John Morris, crime chief for the Area One Police Division in western Jamaica. |
