Murder Rates Collapse
The violent crime rate in the United States has fallen to the lowest level since standardized records were first collected in the early 1970s.
New York City is heading for a remarkable achievement: the lowest number of murders since 1964. Its rapidly declining murder rate is part of a nationwide trend towards lower crime figures and in particular a rapid decline in murders in the big cities.
Which of the following do you think could be the main reason for the decline in crime rates? Choose three.
zero-tolerance (no crime is ignored)
improve surveillance techniques (e.g. closed-circuit TV)
re-introduction of the death penalty in some states
better economic conditions in the cities
more effective rehabilitation of offenders
more visible police presence
a growth in the prison population33
