• W2036537 abstract "President Bill Clinton has made the passage of a federal crime bill a top priority. of his agenda this year. Congress is accommodating him with sweeping new legislation that will federalize scores of crimes and use federal funds to put more police officers on America's streets for a five-year period. The bill is complicated and will cost Americans billions more in taxes, but will do virtually nothing to reduce crime. Why? Because our problem in America is not that we spend too little money, on policing, but rather that in return for our money we get too little policing. The solution to this problem is to give local governments more power over police department management. Bill Clinton's legislation does not do this. In fact, if we don't watch out, his increased federal involvement in local policing will become increased federal interference, which together with state government interference is the root of our problem. Teaching Moral Order The keys to an effective anti-crime policy are not difficult to identify: Teach moral order and enforce it. But as state and federal interference in education and police department management have become greater, teaching moral order and effectively enforcing the law have become more difficult. Sharing state and federal revenues with local governments is appropriate and necessary. But what we in local government really need - rather than more federal money - is more autonomy. What we really need is for state and federal politicians to get out of our way so that we can do our jobs. Today many talented teachers leave higher-paying public schools for positions in lower-paying private schools simply because they are tired of not being allowed to enforce order in their public-school classrooms. They will readily tell you that federal and state regulatory interference in the public schools destroys teacher autonomy and diminishes student learning. In Jersey City, we spend $9,000 per child per year in our public system, yet more than half of our public school 9th graders drop out before graduating from high school. Even measuring the less than half of students who do remain in school, fewer than half of these students pass our state-mandated High School Proficiency Test. But in New Jersey's private schools, there is much less state and federal regulatory interference. Teachers are still allowed to maintain direct control of their classrooms, and student graduation rates and achievement levels are significantly higher. At the Chad School in Newark, spending per child is only one-fourth to one-third of that in New Jersey's public schools. And yet, even though the vast majority of Chad's students come from single-parent, low-income families, 98 percent go on to college. The teachers, free to control their classrooms, maintain a disciplined learning environment and assign over two hours of homework a night. Clearly this workload teaches the students not only basic skills, but also diligence and discipline. If we had less state and federal interference in our public schools, and we funded education through school vouchers, competition would force all of our public schools to become more like the Chad school. With educational power in the hands of parents and teachers instead of politicians, accountability for results would replace accountability by regulation, and our public schools would once again be able to teach moral order effectively. A decrease in crime would be only one of the many positive results. Broken Windows Once moral order is properly taught, enforcing it is not conceptually difficult. If we put a well-trained cop - either on foot or scooter patrol - on every other street comer in our city, we would be able to reduce crime dramatically. This approach is just that the Jersey City Police Department did a generation ago. Cops walked a small and very manageable beat, and as a result there was less crime. …" @default.
