What is crime rate in UK compared to crime rate in US?
Britain has a higher crime rate than the US. About 60 Britains could fit in the US, and the US has about 5 times a higher population than Britain so of course the crimes would be a higher number, but when you put it too even weighings, Britain would have a higher crime rate. Britain is 11% crime rate of over all population (about 60,000,000) and America is 4% crime rate of over all population. (311,000,000)
If cannabis were legalized would the crime rates in the US increase?
* It has not been conclusively proven either way whether the legalization of cannabis would increase or decrease crime rates in the US; the debate goes on, with different people putting forward different theories. There is a possibility that crimes related to fund the habit would increase, but it is not likely; people who use the drug are likely to do so regardless of the law, as we see in society today. If cannabis were legalized, those who would use it more regularly would probably be the type who would use it more socially and less often, paying for it with money earned from work, rather than from crime. The logic behind this is that the current users, the ones breaking the law, are the more regular users who can only afford to fund the habit by committing crimes. This would mean that crime rates would remain more or less the same. However, you also need to consider that everyone smoking marijuana would no longer be breaking the law when they used it, so crime rates here would go down. The overall effect of this would probably be a reduced crime rate. Further research would be required by experts before a government decision on the subject, but the outlook does look positive in terms of crime rates. Another factor to consider is that there may be knock-on effects to the legalization of cannabis: Some people claim it can lead to the use of stronger substances, but the evidence goes against this. If those people who started using cannabis went on to using stronger drugs, then the crime rate could be affected adversely, with people commiting crimes to fund addictions to heroin, cocaine or other drugs. It very much depends on the scale of the knock-on effects. Although unlikely (research HAS proven that cannabis usually doesn't lead on to harder drugs) they could possibly occur. My conclusion, therefore, is that the result of legalizing cannabis would most likely lead to a reduction in US crime rates, but not definitely. * Adding to what the previous respondent said in the last paragraph, this is recognized by many political parties across the world, usually those that are left of center, which have the legalization of cannabis and other substances written into their manifesto. In some countries, there are parties solely aimed at achieving this; the best example is the Legalise Cannabis Alliance in the U.K. In some countries whose government stance is more liberal in this area, it is already legal, e.g., Belgium and Russia. As far as violent crime goes, the statistics are inconclusive as to whether legalization would result in a reduction. In Belgium, where the drug is legal, the most recent study of homicides per 100,000 people showed a low rate, just 1.50. Then again, in Russia, where the drug is also legal, the most recent study revealed a 16.5/100,000 homicide rate -- a definite correlation can not be seen between legalized cannabis and reduced murder rates. In places where the drug is illegal the same thing is true; no pattern seems to exist.
Would you be truthful in a national crime survey if you had a questionable background?
It is important to be truthful when participating in a national crime survey, regardless of your background. The accuracy of the data collected in such surveys is crucial for understanding crime trends and informing policy decisions. Providing false information could compromise the integrity of the results and impact efforts to address crime effectively.
Is Chicago the most dangerous city?
No it is not. I would think East St.Louis is. But Chicago is on the top 5 as of 2012 right above Detroit. It has had a huge increase in violent crimes, assaults, robberies, and other crime. The statistics show that more people get shot in Chicago that in baghdad. I have lived in Chicago all my life and I can tell you it is a beautiful city and there are many things to do there but whatever you do never go to the south or west sides you will be shot. Some safe parts are the north side and the main city(near north side and the loop). I hope this informed you about Chicago
What are examples of anomie?
Anomie is a state of being, as it would be experienced by an individual. So, an example of anomie would be: feeling depressed because of hopelessness and not knowing where one fits into society. An uncertain future would bring about anomie in people and society during an economic depression for instance.

How would you find crime stats for Jehova Witnesses?
You won't. Crime statistics are not broken down on the basis of religious persuasion or church affiliation.
Why are crime statistics not as accurate as sociologists would like?
Crime statistics only include recorded crimes. A lot of crimes go unreported and therefore unrecorded, for various reasons, mainly leading back to the fact that the victim doesn't always report the crime. There is actually much, much more crime happening than we think, because we look at the official crime statistics and it only shows a certain amount, and the crimes commited by certain people. Sociologists explain reasons for this. For example; The official crime statistics show that males are most likely to commit crime against other males. A sociologist would say that this is because men want to live up to the 'macho image', they don't want to admit defeat. If a woman commited a crime against the man, he may be very unlikely to report it. So; a lot of crime commited by women against men goes unrecorded and doesn't appear in the official statistics.
Would raising the minimum wage lower crime?
Econ 101. (simplified version) Raising the minimum wage rate would more likely than not, increase the crime rate. By increasing the minimum wage, employers will be able to hire fewer workers. At the macro level, fewer workers hired will net an increase in unemployment rates. As unemployment rates increase, so too do crime rates.
Would cannabis increase crime if it was illegal?
Cannabis is already illegal. Making cannabis illegal increases crime rates because every time someone lights a joint, they commit a crime.
Did the homicide rates increase after the death penalty was abolished?
I think that the homicide rates have increased because people knoe that even of they do a crime, they will go to jail so why would they do it?
Do you agree that the Death Penalty is useful in decreasing crime rates?
Well I think all punishment decreases crime rates but I think the death penalty decreases the most amount of crime. However, it remains extremely difficult to show a relationship between crime rates and the death penalty, and it's questionable whether a criminal that would be willing commit a crime that is punishable by life in prison would be deterred by a possible death penalty. The stakes are so high in both cases that the punishment likely isn't a determinate on whether the criminal will proceed.

How many felonies were committed last week by US citizens?
Those statistics are impossible to determine. It takes a long time for reported crime statistics to be published and those would not include felonies that have not been detected or reported.
How many robberies were there in 1966?
That is impossible to know. There would not be available statistics for every country in the world that could be added together to get a total. Also, a lot of robberies are not reported, so they would not be included in figures for countries that would have good crime statistics. So your question cannot be answered accurately.
