NO StJPPORT. FOR BELIEF THAT
CRIME WAVE ENGULFS NATION
The President's Resparch ' Commit
ttee on Social Trends has rendered
a report, after three years' work by
500 investigators.
The section on crime and punish
ment,, which was written by Edwin
H. Sutherland, of the University of
Chicago, an<l C. E. Gehlke, of the
Western Reserve University, doep
not support the belief that a great
crime wave holds the nation at grips
Crimes are classified by these re
search analysts as major and minor
offenses. The former include among
others, felonious homicide, robbery
burglary, aggravated assault and au
to theft. The latter include violating
drug, liquor, traffic and motor ve
hicle laws, and drunkenness. The
elimination of arrest for drunkenness
and traffic violations would consid
erably reduce the minor offenses, thr
-eport discloses. ,
Of the number of arrests per 100,
000 population from 1900 to 1980
there was a moderate increase "with
1 more rapid rise after 1920." The
rise after 1920 is explained by the
increase in traffic cases which de
veloped at nbout the same rate ar
he increase in automobile registra
'ion.
While prosecutions in Federal
Courts from 1900 to 1917, wer# fair ,
ly uniform in number from 1917 to
1980 there was an enormous increase
due primarily to violation of the Vol
stead Act. Despite this disclosure
the report shows that there was less
Increase in prosecutions for major
offenses than there was for "minor
offenses.
Potentially the best index on crim
inal offenses, according to the report
is the police record of the number of
serious crimes. This "shows a slight
ly lower rate in 1981 than In 1980."
Oyer the period which the research
Covers "the major crimes reached an
approximate level In 1925." This
the analysis say, "indicates that we
need expect no great Increase in
them m the immediate future."

the' attention of the

County to the coming drive for funds
whiih starts on Tuesday, February
28th. The* motto of this drive is "I
Will Share," and we want everybody
to bring this motto home tt> , them
selves and feel that it applies tc
them. - 1-.V
If the general "?jfeblic could- follow
the workers of the Associated Chari
ties in their daily calls on the poor
of this community, we feel sure that
they would be very willing to share
with these people, even if their own
incomes have been to a ^certain ex
tent curtailed' this year. With thf
cold weather which we have had this
year, there has been very much great
er suffering throughout this County
than for several years in the past.
The fact that the crops this year in
Kershaw County were very small
and in some sections of the County
were almost eliminated, has made p
greater difference over the same pe
riod compared with last year when
our food crops were much heavier
?We are calling attention to this fact
because we wish everybody to be pre
pared to help with this drive when
it is put on, and to do their\ vjery best
to make it successful so that there
?will be as little suffering in this
County this coming year as possible.

In the new publication, now ready

of home-mixing, gives directions for
doing the job efficiently, and lists 61

These practical farm mixtures show:
1. Mixtures commonly made by

compound materials on even ton bas
The intelligent, judicious use of
such fertilizer as can be secured Is ,
more urgent than ever under present
unfavorable economic conditions and
the information in Mr. Hamilton's
circular is therefore of great present
value to farmers.
ONE MURDER IN YEAR
According to a report recently Riv
en out, the city of Quebec, with r
population of approximately 100,000
was the scene of only one murder in
a whole year.
In tho United States there are on
an average approximately 10 mur
ders each year out of each 100,000
of population while in the cities of
Memphis, Jacksonville and Birming
ham tho annual rate during the past
10 years has averaged nearly B0
murders per 100,000 or 60 times that
of Quebec.
In spite of the earnest efforts of
sociologists an<( publicists to deter
mine the cause and suggest rerriedy
for the deplorable . crime situation,
no appreciable headway has been
made In that direction.
Attempts to oxplain crime an an
aftermath of the war fell flat when
it is considered that the homieidc
rate in England, Canada, Australia
South Africa, New Zealand and oth
ir English-speaking countries av
erages only about one-teftth that of
the United States, yet all these 'were
in the war from beginning to end
and suffered from its effect in every
way immeasurably more than we did
' It Is declared by a recent writer
that only one muderer out of 160 li
executed in New York, while 70 out
of 100 are hanged It) London. Thir
rfray have something to do with ottf
high murder rate.
