Crime, Everywhere In America Crime Is Reality â€⦠Everywhere!
by Bill Wallmuller
In America today, crime is an actuality everywhere. No longer are areas of the USA such as in the farm belt, in the countryside, and the mountains etc, places of refuge from crime. Crime is no longer only found in the big cities and in inner city neighborhoods.
Meth labs can be found all over the place. They are hidden in rolling hills of small town areas. First the Meth is manufactured and sold and soon after Meth addicts are breaking into homes, hijacking cars, where violent crime was unheard of only a year ago.
Here are some publicized statistics from 2004: •Rapes - The highest percentage of rape is in the Northeast. July is when the greatest number of rapes takes place. There were 94,635 reported rapes in 2004.
•ROBBERIES - There were 401,326 robberies in 2004. The highest percentage of these (38%) was in the South. 42% of the robberies occurred on the streets, 14% occurred in homes.
•ASSAULT - Firearms were used for 19.3% of the assaults, knives or cutting instruments 18.6%, other weapons (clubs, blunt objects, etc.) 35.6% and personal weapons (hands, fists, feet, etc.) accounted for 26.6% of the assaults. There were 854,911 incidents of aggravated assault.
•CAR JACKINGS - There are around 38,000 car-jackings each year. 74% of the victims faced a weapon. About 63% of carjacking incidents occurred within 5 miles of the victim's home, including 17% that occurred at or near the home...sometimes in their own driveway. Only 4% occurred more than 50 miles from the victim's home.
We have heard reports stating that crime is down in this country for the last couple of years. What you may not have heard is that there is now a greater proportion that are considered violent crimes.
Now is the time that we have to become proactive in dealing with our security and not be passive by relying on agencies such as the police forces, the FBI, state troopers and the like, to be able to provide all the protection we need for us and our families.
Some of the proactive things we can do for ourselves, our families and our communities are joining or creating neighborhood watch programs and other similar groups. We can instruct and teach everyone how to react if caught in a crime and the best ways to act if we want to survive.
Last but not least, we can equip ourselves and our family with personal defense devises technology and surveillance equipment device technology. Modern technology has produced some very unique and reliable defensive devices that anyone can use to protect themselves when necessary.
Now is the time to take action against crime and accept some responsibility for defending ourselves and our communities and not solely relying on law enforcement. Just remember that ideas and intentions never get anything accomplished until you take action. Start today!
