The shift from young people to a “graying” society is another point at which Baumer, Wolff and Levitt can all agree could be a cause for the crime drop of the 1990s (Baumer and Wolff, 2014, p. 20). As Levitt (2004) stated “those over the age of 65 experience victimization rates for serious violent crime that are less than one-tenth of those of teenagers” (p. 171) and since the young population got older, the crime followed in trend.

In the 1920’s an uncountable number of inventions were introduced into society that sprung the nation during its time. Society faced only a over all increase in every way possible. Many inventions were introduced during the 1920’s like the lie detector test, the radio station, and the invention of television.

In the article “The Crime Bust” by Gordon Witkin, it is introduced that in 1994, after a 9 year soar in crime rates, they began falling (1). According to preliminary figures released by the FBI, all across the board, the amount of crime committals were declining at a drastic rate. (Witkin 1). To determine the source of this sudden decline, several factors were examined, such as the economy, dismissed as “Robbery and burglary fluctuate with economic conditions--but murders generally do not…” (Witkin, 1-2) Prevention and domestic abuse were also discredited since “Studies show that prevention programs don’t work, and others may or may not be effective…” and “...in 1996, there were only 447 fewer ‘domestics’ than in 1993, accounting for just 9 percent of the murder reduction.” (Witkin 2) From there, Witkin begins to analyze the connection between the crime decrease and harsher prison sentencing and smarter policing (Witkin 2) As stated by Witkin, “Imprisonment...seems to be important, but not the underlying cause of the crime drop…” and while “...smarter policing was spectacularly decisive in some cities… it probably was not the key factor nationwide.” (Witkin 3-4).

According to an article on perception and reality, that did an Ipsos Reid opinion poll found that 12 percent of Canadian think that crime rate is declining and 46 percent of Canadian think that crime is going up (Perception and Reality, 2007). This shows that Canadians are influenced by the news and how the media can present information that is one sided. With the perception of Canadians are believing that crime is going up, shows that they are in fear something happening to them. The Robert Pickton case is an example of how people perceptions change on what is being reported in the media. For example, the fact that the police knew that Pickton was a suspect but did not apprehend Pickton until dozens of women were reported missing in Vancouver (Hutchinson, 2012). This paints a public opinion of how police aren’t doing their job. People’s opinions are grasping on how nobody cared and how this information was unreported. This case negatively impacted missing women investigations and the police’s failure to prioritize these types of cases. Stranger crimes that are presented in the media also impact people in many ways. These crimes give people a false sense of security; it also impacts parents to teach their children to be afraid of strangers (Canadian Resource Center for Victims of Crime, n.d). The media impacts the public emotionally and reports crimes that they feel are significant and

Advocates who are in favor of their individual crime fighting polies argue that it was their approaches such as, increased incarceration, decline use of crack, community policing and many more that truly resulted in the great American crime drop. However, there is no single explaination as to why crime fell in the United States, rather it was the cause of different and new policing strategies working together at the same time. The dramatic decline in the use of crack cocaine and the recent innovations such as, deterrence policing all provides tangible evidence that they are some of many plausible explanations that contributed in the great American

In the 1990’s the United States experienced a great drop in crime rates all across America (in cities, suburbs, exurbs, and rural areas). The decline in crime was unexpected, large, and it was widespread geographically and demographically. Many researchers attempted to explain why crime declined in the 1990’s, but it was proven to be a difficult task. According to Zimring (and most other researchers) there are three commonly cited explanations for the crime drop. These are; the criminal justice efficacy, demographics, and economic factors. Researchers examined the Criminal justice efficacy particularly how better policing and increased imprisonment may have lowered crime rates. They also examined demographic shifts, particularly how smaller

The authors feel that there is a greater reason that the crime rates decreased in the 1990’s, they feel that the legalization of abortion had a large impact on decreasing crime rates. They believe that because often women that had abortions would not be very good mothers, they would have children that became criminals as adults. Therefore because the 1990’s was the first decade that would have had adults after the 1970’s decision to legalize abortion, legal abortion decreased crime rates.

Crime is something that is apart of every society. It is something that can never be gotten rid of, but it certainly can be controlled.

Therefore it calls for understanding of the causes and motivators of organized crime groups in order to reduce the vice. To have a reduction or end of organized crimes there is need for interdisciplinary approaches to recheck the issue. To really understand and solve the issues related to organized crimes, one analyze the problem through, Law, historical, sociological or political perceptive.

Such groups have a sense of community and trust in themselves, though the feeling of discrimination, vulnerability and isolation pushes them into crime.

Immigrant’s organized crimes is boosted by criminal values and techniques importation from their mother country. A good example is the high cases or crimes in United States due to importation of criminal techniques from

This essay will discuss crime as both a social problem and a sociological problem. Crime is seen as a typical function of society. Crime doesn’t happen without society. It is created and determined by the surrounding society. According to the CSO, the number of dangerous and negligent acts committed between the years of 2008 and 2012 rose from 238’000 in 2008 to 257’000 in 2012. This is an increase of nearly 20’000 recorded crimes in just 3 years. Note that these are only the recorded figures. Many more crimes go unreported. This may be because of intimidation, blackmail or embarrassment among many reasons.
