Average Day

Every 15 seconds a major crime is committed somewhere in the U.S.--more than 2,000,000 last year. Reporting on what he called "this national disgrace" to the American Bar Association last week, Attorney General Brownell described "an average day" in crime: 20 murders or violent deaths, 47 rapes, 160 robberies, 240 aggravated assaults, 600 stolen cars, 1,200 burglaries, 3,300 larcenies and thefts.
