Figures show rise in crime reports
WASHINGTON (AP) - Violent crime re
ports to police increased 5 percent last year
while reported property crimes rose 2 percent,
government figures showed Sunday, and ex
perts blamed drugs and the nation's economic
troubles.
The total rose 3 percent, continuing a trend
of increases dating back to 1985, according to
preliminary figures from the FBI's Uniform
Crime Reports.
The 5 percent increase in violent crime —
murder, forcible rape, robbery and aggravated
assault — is less than half the 10.6 percent hike
from 1989 to 1990, but it is in line with increas
es since the mid-1980s.
The FBI's figures did not include population
estimates for 1991 and thus, the rate of crime
per capita.
However, calculations by The Associated
Press indicate there were about 5,880 crimes
reported per 100,000 residents last year.
That is the second-highest rate in the past
three decades, surpassed only by 1980, when
there were 5,899.9 crimes per 100,000 U.S. resi
dents.
The violent crime rate was about 750 per
100,000 residents, the highest in the past three
decades, according to the AP's calculations,
and it continues an upward trend that fol
lowed a dip in the early 1980s.
Meanwhile, the rate of property crime —
burglary, larceny-theft and motor vehicle theft
— was about 5,090 per 100,000 people, the AP
found.
Like the overall crime rate, that's the highest
since 1960 with the exception of 1980, when the
property crime rate was 5,319.1.
The AP's calculations were based on the
FBI's broad percentage changes in reported
crime as well as the Census Bureau's estimate
of the 1991 U.S. population.
The preliminary FBI figures for last year
showed the number of murders rose 7 percent,
forcible rape and aggravated assault each went
up 3 percent and robbery increased 8 percent.
Perot criticizes Bush
for election policies
Continued from Page 1
Listen to recent Perot on Bush:
— "When you've got an incumbent saying, T will do anything it
takes to win' . . . then when you know what he did in the last cam
paign, look at what they're doing now, it's kind of all-time new
low," he said in an interview with The Associated Press last week.
— On Bush's 1990 abandonment of his no-new-taxes pledge and
support of a congressional budget agreement: "It was a study in
White House arrogance."
— On domestic policies: "I'm talking about two-day education
summits . . . these little video events set up to say, T am the educa
tion president. I am the environmental president. I am the drug
president.' Then you do a stunt and go on to another issue."
— On Bush's style: "We won't be onto this show business White
House stuff."
— On federal red ink: "Do you ever hear the incumbent presi
dent talking about the debt? Do you hear him talking about this
year's deficit?"
— On the recession: "The president honestly didn't know."
— On early support for Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein: "(He) per
sonally intervened to get him money, billions from you the taxpay
ers here, here and here over a 10-year period."
And after the war?
"Saddam's still there. Nuclear's still there. Bacteriological is still
there. All we did was Kuwait."
In a separate interview last week with David Frost, Perot de
clared: "Who created Saddam Hussein with billions of dollars, and
whose personal fingerprints are all over it for 10 years? The presi
dent of the United States."
Perot also blames the Republican Party for trying to undermine
him, accusing it of leaking derogatory material to reporters and
maneuvering to keep him off the ballot in New York.
"It's so amateurish. It's pathetic," Perot said. Republican leaders
have denied Perot's allegations.
Any Democratic sneak attacks? "Not yet," he told the AP.
And to Frost, he said, "I have seen nothing come from the
Democratic party that I would consider negative campaigning or
trying to redefine the candidate. It all comes from one source. The
Republican party."
Ask him about Clinton, the expected Democratic nominee and
governor of Arkansas, Perot replies charitably. He tells how he got
quick results from Clinton in going to bat for a Vietnam War veter
an:
"A sergeant from Arkansas lost his leg in Vietnam. After going
through rehabilitation and getting all fixed up, he was having
problems getting into the University of Arkansas. I called the gov
ernor and asked him if he would help this young man. About three
nanoseconds later, the young man was in the University of
Arkansas and doing very well."
"He cared very much about that person," Perot said. "I consid
ered that a very positive quality."
