A concerted effort by all quarters to bring crime rates down is a vital ingredient in the push to make Malaysia a developed country by 2020. Not only does crime impact quality of life - sometimes with devastating effect - it can also come with substantial economic cost. In England and Wales, crime against individuals and households cost society a staggering STG34 billion (STG1=RM4.85) in 2009-2010, according to research conducted by Victim Support, an organisation that provides free, confidential support, practical help and advice for victims of crime.

DOVER-FOXCROFT - More than 33 million people each year become victims of crime, whether it is emotional, physical, psychological or financial. In recognition of the affect crime has on its victims, Congress in 1984 passed the Victims of Crime Act, which affirmed a national commitment to help victims rebuild their lives and which established the Crime Victims Fund, a major source of funding for services and compensation to victims of crime throughout the country.
MINNEAPOLIS - The government's economic stimulus money isn't just for hard hats, contractors and teachers. It's also keeping battered women's advocates on the job and compensating crime victims for lost wages and uncovered medical costs. The government is spending $225 million in stimulus money on programs that deal with violence against women, and $100 million more to help victims of crime. This comes amid a general decline in private and state funding for such programs. The money is spread among states, territories, American Indian tribes and nonprofit social service providers.
WASHINGTON -- President Bush took time out over the weekend from his hectic re-election bid to sign into law sweeping DNA legislation sponsored by U.S. Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah. The signing of this bill is a critical step toward getting rid of the backlog of nearly 400,000 rape kits across the country. It will help provide justice for victims of crime as well as those who are wrongfully accused and convicted of crimes," said Hatch, who called it one of the most important pieces of legislation to come out of the 108th Congress.
Ohio became the first state in the country to compensate the family of a soldier killed in Iraq using the state's crime victims' fund. Attorney General Jim Petro set the precedent last week after he approved the family's request to use $4,500 from Ohio's Victims of Crime Compensation to help pay for the funeral of Army Staff Sgt. Sean Landrus.

New Haven has put in writing its informal police policy of "don't ask, don't tell" in dealing with illegal aliens. In a city with an estimated 10,000 illegal immigrants - although no one knows the true number - and a police goal of protecting all residents, the written policy is reasonable. Because of their immigration status, illegal immigrants tend to avoid police, even when they are victims of crimes. They make easy prey for the unscrupulous because of the threat of their exposure and deportation. The new written policy specifies that officers shall not ask about the immigration status of crime victims, witnesses or others who ask the police for help. The policy bars officers from detaining illegal aliens solely because of their immigration status.
