 Context: Since the 1970s, high crime rates and crime  avoidance have become a normal social fact. This fact has become more  evident post-Vietnam, as rates have risen and peaked to heights never  seen. In fact, crime has lost some of its distinctiveness, such as being  only an urban problem. Specifically, people today have a fear of crime  no matter the social setting. This growing fear has led some to believe  that crime is getting worse and will continue to rise in the future.

Task Description: Use the historical data provided by The Crime and Justice Atlas  (2000) to provide a platform to analyze the impact of crime. Couple  this data with the fact that, in contemporary society, television  provides a mechanism for desensitization of society to criminal acts  while increasing the expectations of individuals. Without regulating  pressures, such as those produced in the family, social, or religious  settings, the opportunity for criminal inclinations to translate into  criminal acts is limitless. This leads to the fact that informal social  interventions are another issue that must be addressed by contemporary  crime policy. What responsibility does society hold in addressing the  rising level of crime? Is “informal crime policy” a feasible notion? How  can “informal crime policy” support public crime policy?
