To get elected you had to be "Tough on Crime" so everyone went around trying to prove they were tough on crime and explaining how to solve the crime problems! It was a National Dilemma! And everyone was affected by crime. At that time it felt that crime was just always going to continue at that rate. I went to college at that time, and every phone call I got from my family, I really thought I was going to get bad news! As a young woman I was not only homesick but felt scared and heartsick too.
