Loss of Federal Funding Cause of Rise in Violent Crime
Many communities, particularly those in urbanized areas, may be headed into a period of sustained crime increases. Experts cited an increase in the number of young men in their crime-prone years, diminished crime-fighting assistance from the federal government, fewer jobs for people with marginal skills, and even the ongoing growth in methamphetamine use in some places. The numbers come amid heightened criticism of the federal government from many police chiefs and state law enforcement officials, who complain that the Bush administration has retreated from fighting traditional crime in favor of combating terrorism and protecting homeland security.
