What I feel about the article is that it is true. I think when we put more people to jail and when those people come out of jail the crime rate does go down. People believe that the higher incarceration rates led to less crime. I agree with this statement because people who go to jail see that it is a really bad place to be at. So when they come out of jail they tell others that are doing crimes to stop because it will ruin their life, so the people that have been to jail can warn the other before it is too late for them.

I think the article is quite difficult for people to comprehend because looking at the statistics, the less people that there are in jail the less crime there is. Most people would think that there is something wrong because if more 'bad' people are in prison, there would be less crime, but that isn't the case. Another weird thing is that when crime in New York was low, crime in the United States was high and when crime in the United States was low, crime in New York was high. What causes this to happen?

If crime rates are decreasing, it doesn't show. I feel like I can't really trust what the statistics say. They're probably accurate, but I can't bring myself to actually believe that crime rates have actually declined. It just seems like everything's getting worse. Pretty much all I see on the news are reports of crime and violence, so how can I really say that things are getting better at all?

Glad to see some change

So,it seems that the crime rate is finally decreasing nationwide. Excellent, although I doubt that this trend will continue for very long. Crime can only drop so low, it's only a matter of time before the changes become insignificant or even stop completely. Violent crime will never dissapear, not in the forseeable future. I am very glad to see that times might be changing and law enforcement/citizens might have finallly begun to use their heads for the good of the world.

The Most Dangerous Place to Live

I chose “What is the most dangerous place to live in the world?” because it is interesting because I just was thinking about how I think some places in Utah are scary to go into but when I really think about it, I realize that compared to other areas in the world and even in the U.S, Utah is probably a pretty safe place. I know there are a lot of different factors to consider to decide what is dangerous or not. It is also different if you are comparing for men and women. It also can tie into what people truly think being “poor” or not having the best living conditions are.
