| | Violent crime - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | This entails both crimes in which the violent act is the objective, such as murder, as well as crimes in which violence is the means to an end, such as robbery. | | | According to BJS figures, the rate of violent crime victimization in the United States declined by more than half between the years 1994 and 2001. | | | The United States Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) counts five categories of crime as violent crimes: murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, and simple assault. |

| | If a long sentence is mandated for guns crimes, and no plea bargain is possible, felons charged with a gun crime have no reason to plead guilty rather than insisting on trial. | | | Remember also that deterrence is not an absolute bar but only a disincentive to confrontation crime, varying according to the individual felon's personality and opportunities for non-confrontation crime. | | | But criminal demand for guns (and hence gun crime) might be reduced sharply if criminals knew they would be seriously punished for having or using a gun. |

A mother's failed attempt to abort her fetus was the second most detrimental form. "Either form of maternal rejection may predict child abuse and/or neglect," Raine notes. | | | The research team, which in 1996 discovered a link between these biosocial risk factors and the propensity to commit crime in a smaller group of subjects, also was able to determine which of the three types of maternal rejection interacted most strongly with perinatal complications. | | | Maternal rejection and obstetrical complications did not, however, seem to have the same effect among offenders who committed their first violent crime between the ages of 19 and 34. Adults with these two biosocial risk factors were no more likely than normal adults to commit a violent crime, Raine said. |
