This volume approaches the full spectrum of crime as an issue in American society today, describing trends in various types of crime and the more recent rise of computer- and technology-related crime. Crime in America presents different viewpoints on the control of crime, anti-crime efforts through legislation and community action, and the successes and failures of law enforcement and the criminal justice system in dealing with crime in American society today. A chronology detailing historical developments and significant statistical fluctuations in U.S. crime during the 20th century, important figures in the ongoing anti-crime crusade, legislation excerpts, statistics, annotated print and nonprint resource lists, and descriptions of government and private agencies round out this valuable reference tool.
