sdulent Annual Crime Report ed by te for Criminology 101 tion with uth Farm School d rs of War Coalition % e Are Preamble (Part One) The average person in our socity lacks true understanding o the socio-politcal, economic and cultural purpose of the U5,/ E'BL. Anmual Caime Report. In ety o o bt psonsmin o any kind have accepted this report, assuming is inherent validity without questioning tsfindings or the processes employed in attaining the information within it. What we must do now, firstand foremost s understand the purpose of the Annual Crime Report. Many people in society would define this report as a mecharism for monitoriag the crime rate in Amerika. On the surface this may appear o b true, butin practice it s notso. One f the post pervsive kkkovernment usages of its annual reporti to lend constitutional valiity and social credence tois extreme and repressive ace-based laws and poicies. For example,we might coside e o tikes youte ut aw. Fropones of this racistand reactionary law are now claiming the (uleged) drmaic rpin vient cimein California s directresultof the enactment of the three strikes law. This s a bogus claim, not o mentiona clear distorion o th fact. ‘Thereare other examples as well. This kkkoverment's political prevarications are prevalent throughout the U.S. But for now i would like (o briefly expound on the claim made by the proponents of the three stikes law, specifically, that there is a direct correlation between reduction in violent crime and the enforcement of .

(Note: weatheris the primary factor in unity, gang: elated violenceis the ssaults, and thisrate isclearly reflected sal crime report, especially as it pertins can and does have a dramatic impacton and these gangs average two to three scalate existing conflicts. Allies of gangs People, the above five factors that 've briefly addressed here areatleast 95% respoasible for reductions i the annual crime rae. But you rarely hear about these factors when the Kkkovemmeat spits out it annal report. The connection i vividly clear. But the connection between the reduction in crime and the kkkovemment' fascist agenda s very blurred and obsured. Their laims are more self-serving political thetoric than fact. i argue that when reduction in crime occurs it has more to do with the ive factors 've mentioned above. i now ask you to consider these factors before embracing the kkkovemment's fascist,racist-based so-caled crime bill. Part Three ‘The ayerage person in society is oblivious tothe socio-demographics used i the annual rime report, including the processes used in collecting crime statistis from communitie, ites, counies and states and the ways these satistics re analyzed. Understanding these functional processes further exposes the fraudulent. nature of the kkkovemments annual crime report. Havinga strong police presence ina particular area can to adegree minimize crime in that arget area,this we don't deny, bt tosay that this method of policing has a dramatic impact on the over-all crime epidemic is stretching it a little too far —a political exaeseration eiving murder ate in small ites, lowns and ruralareas.

At ‘orcoran State Prison in Clllfal'm. the administration had deliberately created conditions to encourage violence. They had forced ival prison groups and gangs onto the same exercise yards,fciltating the probability o increases in violenc there. Between 1989:and 1996, there were approximately 8,000 fights on these exercise yards. Prison guns were used by guards nearly 2,000 times to control the yard fghis, which resulted in 7 deaths and hundreds of serious injures. Now these stastics show up on the loca, state and national annualcrime reports. But no one tell the people that the kkkovemment' criminal actions were responsible for hisincrease inprison violence. People, thisis not pue speculation. These facts have already been substantiated by the FBI and the courts. This is just one way the kkkovemment contributes o the increase in violent crimes. ‘There are many other ways the kkkovernment contributes to the increase in crime rates. Another example is the fact that over recent years the kkkovernment has diminished the importance and significance of criminal rehabilitation. i ask you to think for yourself while considering this point. The kkkovemnment knew, by climinating ime reventionand criminal eabiiaion that the chances fora prisoner returning to pison were gealy cbanced.

Fora more police efforts n large cities, epreseating only a lower murder ate in small cites, tows and rual areas. For instance, say we have three small towns: town one had two murders in 1997, town two bad one murder in 1997, and town thre had one murder in 1997. These are towns that over time esseaially experience no ‘murders - but when they do, most of them are related to domestic violence or child abduction/molestation, neither of which law-enforcement can effectively prevent.

This provides greater opportunites for robberies, pick pockeing, burglaries and prostitution. Though we concur with this observation, i must point out that we remain very skeptical with the belif that heat contibutes to violent behavior. In prison this may be true because prisoners don't have the luxury or option of escaping the hot summer heat, o this can and does aggrevale antagonistic behavior in an already hostle and isolated environment. Nowi ask, if the summer heat can contribute to the increase inthe crime rate, s it notonly Iogical to conclude that the winter cold can contribute (s reduction? Winter has the oppositeeffecton people. More people areinclined to stay indoors, especially where there is snow and rain, and that includes most criminals and prostitutes, so weather plays a major role n both the reduction and increase of crime rates. (Note: weather s the primary factorin mostmissed opportunites.) 2) Gang Truces: I the New Afrikan (Black) community, gang-related violence is the primary cause of murders, atempted murders and assaults, and tis rae i clearly reflected Within the pages of the U'S.
