Political Quotes

“last Friday we had a meeting of our crime advisory task force in Michigan. Crime has got to be one of the top priorities of not only the Federal Government, but certainly State and local government and individual families. Crime is getting out of control in this country as more and more young people grow up without respect for other people, without respect for other people's property, probably without very much respect for themselves. At our crime advisory task force meeting we talked about not only the importance of beefing up law enforcement officers and enhancing our ability to apprehend those individuals that were committing a crime, but we talked about increasing the efforts of our court systems and the judicial branch of government to have a quicker scolding of those individuals that were apprehended and charged with a particular crime. And also we talked about the need for reform in our State Department of Corrections and in our jail system so that truly there was some real penalty to those individuals who were sentenced to those institutions.”
