Topic: Crime


  
 Crime - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thus, a crime is any culpable action or omission prohibited by law and punished by the state.
This is an uncomplicated view: a crime is a crime because the law defines it as such.
In the United States since 1930, Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) have been tabulated annually by the FBI from crime data submitted by law enforcement agencies across the United States.

 Crime fiction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 Death Penalty, NYC Style (Gotham Gazette. October, 2005)
Crime (shorthand for Crime, Police and the Courts) refers to relationships among criminal activity, the police, the courts and community life.
Occasionally, an individual crime still results in calls for the death penalty, such as the case of Ronell Wilson, who is accused of killing two undercover NYPD detectives in Staten Island in 2003 and is currently facing trial in federal court, where the death penalty is still available.
The prominence of the death penalty debate in the Manhattan district attorney race is even stranger because New York state does not currently have a functioning death penalty, although the law allowing prosecutors to seek death sentences is still on the books.

 Crime, by David D. Friedman: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty
One interesting issue in the economic analysis of crime is the question of what legal rules are economically efficient.
Criminals cannot pay large fines, so large punishments take the form of imprisonment or execution, which is less efficient—nobody gets what the criminal loses and someone has to pay for the jail.
A second reason we do not want maximum punishments for all offenses is that we want to give criminals an incentive to limit their crimes.

 The Official Crime Stoppers International Website - Welcome to Crime Stoppers International Online
Crime Stoppers breaks through these barriers by giving people the opportunity to provide information without directly speaking to police or having to testify in court.
Obviously investigators need witnesses to help prove their case in court, but most importantly they need information that allows them to zero in on a suspect or a criminal operation such as a drug trafficking network.
The police are also required to investigate the various Crime Stoppers tips and report back to the coordinator when a case is solved.

 Crime Mapping
The 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act provided a boost to the implementation of GIS by providing funding for crime prevention programs.
The reality of the situation is that most of this information is public information (check the crime blotter section of your local newspaper) although the ease of crime mapping makes this information more readily available.
This allows law enforcement agencies to understand where crime is occurring as well as determine if there are any patterns.
