Show The Cost of Crime J. Edgar Hoover of the F B I states: "We complain about high taxes, but last year crime cost every man, woman wo-man and child in the United States $122.00, or a staggering estimated, total of $20 billion. Perhaps this figure could become more meaningful if we realized that for every $1.00 spent on education crime cost $1.46, and for every $1.00 which went to churches of the nation, $13.00 went to crime. Mr. Hoover said this In a speech urging improvement In crime control especially as it affects the parole and the problem of the repeater. And the challenge of this, he added, "is a challenge to all of us." |
