THE U.S. TAKES CONTROL OF CRIME
During the last decade and a half, crime rates fell by about a third in the United States--one of the sharpest reductions since organized record keeping began early in the century.
The shift was broad and deep: crime ebbed in 47 out of 50 states and 190 out of our biggest 220 cities.
The progress may soon be coming to an end, though. In the latest year or so, crime rates have leveled off or even edged up slightly in some of the places where the decline began first--like New York City and Los Angeles.

The U.S. as a whole is now more secure than at any time since the mid-1960s. In fact, contrary to stereotypes, America is significantly less crime-ridden than England.
