I was curious about the crime in Colorado so in today's post, I want to explore the crimes and crime rate in Colorado.
"Crime in Colorado." Crime in Colorado. N.p., n.d. Web. 29 Mar. 2015.
This site provides the annual crime reports and statistics in Colorado by Colorado law enforcement agencies. These agencies are required to "submit their crime, arrest, stolen and recovered property data to the CBI" (Colorado Bureau of Investigation). There are annual reports dating from 1998-2013. This site is useful for comparing crime rates based on the type of offense committed in Colorado from year to year to see if it has gotten better or worse throughout the years.
Sabet, Ph.D. Kevin A. "Crime Is Up in Colorado: What That Tells Us About Pot Legalization And,
Perhaps More Importantly, Lazy Reporting." The Huffington Post. TheHuffingtonPost.com,
n.d. Web. 29 Mar. 2015.
This site is an article that discusses the increase in crime rates in Colorado since the legalization of marijuana. This is an interesting article because a lot of legalization advocates believe that since the legalization of marijuana, the crime rates have gone down, but this article sets the facts straight about the real rate of crime.
"Crime and Punishment in Colorado." Communities Digital News. N.p., n.d. Web. 29 Mar. 2015.
This website discusses probably the most controversial crime in the present. It discusses the crime of when a woman cut the fetus out of a 8 month pregnant woman in Colorado. The woman will be charged with an attempted murder on the mother-to-be, but not for the death of the baby girl that was cut out of her mother's womb. It focuses on how a law about fetal homicides should be passed. Even State Senate President Bill Cadman vocalized that Republicans will try to pass a fetal homicide law.
This was some really shocking news that I heard and I couldn't believe that this happened in Colorado. This article was good at filling in the missing information that was not given to me.
