		Among the major changes to be effectuated in the federal law by the Crime Control Act was a comprehensive scheme of licensing procedures for firearms manufacturers, importers and dealers, with administration and enforcement of the new provisions vested in the Secretary of the Treasury.
		Under federal law in effect prior to the Crime Control Act, licenses issued pursuant to the Federal Firearms Act, 15 U.S.C. sections 901-909 (1964), could be obtained from the Secretary of the Treasury for $25 per year, and were a prerequisite to transporting, receiving or shipping firearms in interstate or foreign commerce.
		Although the Crime Control Act repealed the Federal Firearms Act, Congress expressly stated that the repeal was not intended to invalidate existing licenses under the Federal Firearms Act; rather, those licenses were to continue in effect until they expired by their own terms.

		Juvenile crime has increased by 60 percent between 1981 and 1990 (compared to an increase of five percent among adults) and the number of inmates convicted of drug offenses rose 14 percent from 1983 to 1989.
		Evidence suggests, however, that there is a strong correlation between increased incarceration and decreased crime rates: from 1990-1991, states with the greatest increases in criminal incarceration rates experienced, on average, a 12.7 percent decrease in crime, while the 10 states with the weakest incarceration rates experienced an average 6.9 percent increase in crime.
		Under the recent omnibus crime control act, the Justice Department is required to notify the court and the defendant that it intends to seek the death penalty, and it must indicate the "aggravating" factors it intends to prove as the basis for imposition of a capital sentence.

	Wild Shots in the War on Crime, by Rufus King
		Local crime commissions with professional staffs, such as those which have been quietly plugging away for decades in Chicago, Baltimore, New Orleans, and Miami, are well worth the support they receive, though none of the cities just enumerated could be said to have been freed of crime by their efforts.
		What these national crime commission proposals amount to is the spectacle of the government itself attempting to set up, by its own authority, an independent private agency to prod it along in the discharge of the very duties it should never have been allowed to neglect or ignore in the first place.
		As the second measure, the Organized Crime Control Act of 1970, emerged in public law form, it ran to forty pages ("it is the purpose of this Act to seek the eradication of organized crime in the United States.

	Juvenile Justice at the Crossroads
		In fact, the 105th Congress predicted in the Omnibus Crime Control Act of 1997, "the number of juvenile offenders is expected to undergo a massive increase during the first two decades of the twenty-first century, culminating in an unprecedented number of violent offenders who are less than 18 years of age.
		The critics say that young children who commit violent crimes such as assault, rape, murder and armed robbery are often adjudicated in the same courts as youthful, non-violent offenders who commit such offenses as shoplifting, burglary, petty theft and drug offenses.
		Included among these crimes are murder, attempted murder, assault with intent to murder, assault with intent to commit a felony, assault with a dangerous weapon, commission of a robbery with a firearm, bank robbery, aggravated sexual abuse by threat or force, or aggravated sexual abuse with children.

	Simplification Draft Paper - Sentencing Reform Act of 1984: Principal Features
		First, the Act was well considered over a period of years, with its final passage in 1984 culminating a decade of hearings, committee mark-ups, and floor consideration.
		The road to enactment of the SRA in the Fall of 1984 as title II of the omnibus Comprehensive Crime Control Act--itself being a substantive provision in a continuing appropriations resolution--was a relatively lengthy one.
		This post-hoc interpretation of the 1984 Act's departure standard was vigorously disputed, however, by the principal Senate SRA sponsors, and has been rejected by appellate courts as an avenue of avoiding guideline requirements.

		The history of American gun control policies illustrates the ongoing policy debate as to the relative worth of both restrictive and proactive measures of crime control.

		Employed as such, this method cannot win the confidence of members of the community sufficiently to win geographic ground, social space as they empty the police task of meaning and techniques so necessary to reduce, and later to displace the power, born of fear of gun/narco criminals whose influence still dominate people and territory.
		What is required is an integrated and all-embracing Omnibus Crime Control Act which blends past approaches with new initiatives to highlight a more focused and pro-active response.
		In selected circumstances the Act should shift the onus to prove onto the alleged offender reasonable allegations by the police or face convictions (similar to provisions in the Unlawful Possession of Property Tax).

	FIREARMS AND FEDERAL LAW: THE GUN CONTROL ACT OF 1968
		While crime and criminals were major issues, there is little evidence that the "gun problem" and proposals to increase the federal role in firearms regulation were visible public issues.[20] The major public concern was crime control, and guns were perceived as one small part of that larger issue.
		Prior to the Act, two northeastern states and a number of municipalities had attempted to restrict handgun possession to only those of their citizens who could demonstrate a special need to own one.[182] Such laws were intended to reduce handgun ownership to a tiny fraction of the national average of 40 handguns per 100 households.
		The percentage of crimes involving guns is a shorthand expression of trends in gun crime controlled for variations in nongun crime.
