ISSUE BACKGROUND: THE GROWTH AND DECLINE OF CRIME (cont.)
o Reasons for crime
Crime- An activity that some legislative body has chosen to make illegal.
Old laws seldom go away. So the number of illegal activities has
increased over time.
Drugs- when the population is drugs using at a higher rate, crime has
tended to spike upwards.
Drug addicts many times participate in theft and other crimes to
pay for their habit
DEA estimates that a Heroin Addict needs $57.50 a day to support
the habit
A typical heroin addict needs $21,000 a year to support the habit.
o This is a financial burden that most upper class Americans
cannot afford much less addicts.
o More Americans arrested for drug abuse than any other
type of crime.
