On the recordMarch 22, 1994
Mr. Speaker, all of us know that crime is perhaps the number one issue that faces this country, but as we debate and as we discuss this issue this week, let us be smart and intelligent about a crime bill for this country. Let us not just be reactionary and say that the answer to the problem is putting everyone in prison. Yes, we have to create more prisons; yes, we have to have stiffer penalties, but at the same time we have to realize, Mr. Speaker, that crime is not the sickness that is plaguing this country. Crime is the symptom. And we have to understand that unemployment, undereducation, miseducation are still problems that plague this country. We built more prisons in the 1980's than any country in the world and we still have the highest crime rate. Mr. Speaker, when are we going to get educated and when are we going to learn that crime is just the symptom? Let us have a balanced approach to the omnibus crime bill this week.
