| | Kentucky's Violent Offender Statute - The Advocate: July 02 |
 | | A violent offender, who is sentenced to a term of years, may actually end up with a greater parole eligibility than someone sentenced to life imprisonment. | | | "Violent offender" status under the amended KRS 439.3401 would then add on the penalties of delayed parole eligibility and limits on institutional credits against sentence, ("good time"), if the assault was accompanied by a first-degree burglary. | | | For example, a court might try to sentence a Class B first-degree burglary defendant as a violent offender, if the defendant had been found guilty under KRS 511.020(6)(b), which requires a finding that a victim was injured. |

| | Do Community Oriented Policing Services Grants Affect Violent Crime Rates? |
| | The use of violent crime clearance rates may pose difficult problems because the number of violent crimes appears in the numerator of the dependent variable (violent crime rates) and in the denominator of the independent variable violent crime clearance rates. | | | The violent crime clearance rate is defined as the percentage of known violent crime offenses that result in arrest in a given year. | | | When violent crime clearance rates are included in the model, the statistical significance of the relationship between COPS grants and violent crime rates remains unchanged. |

| | Violent crime continues to be a serious problem in the United States despite reports of a decline in the overall crime rate. | | | More than 90 percent of state prisoners have committed one or more violent crimes or served a previous sentence to incarceration or probation. | | | The American people basically are correct in their perceptions that not enough criminals are incarcerated, typical criminals are responsible for a large number of crimes and building more prisons is worthwhile. |

He cites an Australian government report that reviewed research on video games up to 1999 and "failed to find evidence of strong links between play and behavior, or play and self-concept." |
