STATEMENT OF ATTORNEY GENERAL RENO ON FBI CRIME STATISTICS




"Crime has been falling for several years, because policy makers, law enforcement and ordinary Americans are coming together to do the right thing. President Clinton has put more police on the streets, and more people are coming forward to work with them. Now we must build on our progress, by doing more as a nation to keep young people on the right path."
