Nationwide Crime Spike Has Law Enforcement Retooling Its Approach
Crime in America may be on the rise again. It is too early to talk about a national trend, but there have been troubling spikes in violent crimes in big cities. Until recently, crime decreased steadily for two decades, and the national murder rate is half what it was in the early 1990s — so police departments are under pressure to address this latest trend. Large departments are responding with more specialized units, such as identifying hybrid police officers who will not have to respond to service calls but will concentrate on a neighborhood's trouble spots.
