This is nothing but utter bullshit propaganda.
The Really sad part is you had to go shop for someone elses words to even convey utter bullshit propaganda.
Now PROOF is something other than propaganda.
Its Facts, hard facts.
Documentation!
It is now wonder you dont understand that.
This is not propaganda. If the Truth Matters to you, you will read this report with an open mind. It should prove to you that leftist soft on crime policies ruins our criminal justice system. I copied and improvised some of the highlights here (hey, i'm not much of a writer).
For decades the political left has engaged in ideological warfare regarding crime policy, making anything like objectivity the first casualty. We have been subjected for years to the left's "soft on crime" policies. Circuit Court Chief Judge Bazelon called prison dehumanizing, vindictive, primitive, and irrational; and criminals the scapegoats of failed society. Supreme Court Chief Justices Brennan and Douglas called for rehabilitation from experts in behavioral sciences. Attorney General Ramsey Clark labeled prison an angry response that would not reduce crime. The Earl Warren Supreme Court and other courts professionalize criminals with many new rights. And so sentencing fell and crime exploded.
Liberals won't admit or will only provide a plethora of excuses for the huge crime wave which came about because of their "soft on crime" policies. Because of the liberal media most people are ignorant of this. The liberal media even glorified some criminals like the Black Panthers, treating them like freedom fighters. The left's policies led to millions of additional crimes.
You want proof? Please take special note of the
homicide chart in this report. It represents the terrible truth. Subtracting the 1950s rates from the 1960s through the 1990s rates puts the size of the crime mountain at over
300,000 additional homicides. That is even more than American deaths in WWII.
And homicide rose less than other categories of crime. The overall crime rates for the 1960s to the 1990s is
100 million crimes above 1950s crime rates.
One change in the political climate that helped reverse this travesty was talk radio. They were able to target soft on crime liberal judges. Please also take note of the chart covering 48 years that shows
when prison time goes up, robberies go down. Of course hypocritical big government liberals turned to economic arguments
against prison expansion. The left showed little compassion when it came to protecting honest citizens from the crime wave they created.
All the convoluted liberal theories cannot explain the mountain of crime rising in the 1950s and 1960s and falling in the 1990s. But tough sentencing in the 1950s and a return to tough sentencing in the 1990s match the results exactly. Extremist media spin and intellectual fraud must be exposed and the left should admit its soft crime policies are a total failure.
Recently crime has dropped ten straight years nationwide, in contradiction to predictions it would rise. Voters have been ignoring the wisdom of elitist intellectuals and criminologists, and have crushed liberal judges and politicians on election day. But reversals may be ahead if people forget the stakes. Because on the left there is no remorse, no admission of failure, and no lesson learned.
