SENATE DEBATE:
QUESTION #3 - November 4, 1994:
The statistics, some have argued, show that the crime rate has been
relatively stable over the past 20 years. Yet violent crime has been the
number one public concern this election season. What, in actuality, do you
perceive to be the root cause of this upsurge in fear? Is it really a
factually verifiable increase in the incidence of violent crime, or is it
something else? What can you, as a member of the United States Senate, do
to address what you perceive to be the root cause of this fear? Why is it
the responsibility of the federal government to concern itself with such
issues?
