		The number of violent offenses is then used to calculate the violent crime rate by looking at the number of offenses per 100,000 people.
		Simply stated, it is unlikely that the “true” violent crime rate increased in the 1990s given the collaborating nature of the UCR and NCSV data.
		Second, the growth in the prison population from 1995 to 2001 is overwhelmingly due to the incarceration of violent offenders.

	Kentucky's Violent Offender Statute - The Advocate: July 02 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		A violent offender, who is sentenced to a term of years, may actually end up with a greater parole eligibility than someone sentenced to life imprisonment.
		A "violent offense" serve-out, delayed by 2 1/2 years, should be deemed a longer sentence than a non-violent offense which is not similarly delayed.
		Therefore, the prohibition against good time for a violent offender is also a reason why, under Apprendi, facts which give rise to the "violent offender" designation should be charged in the indictment and presented to a jury for decision at the standard of beyond a reasonable doubt.

	USATODAY.com - Tornadoes are Earth's most violent storms (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The National Weather Service defines a tornado as "a violently rotating column of air in contact with the ground and pendant from a thunderstorm." In other words, a thunderstorm is the first step in the creation of a tornado.
		Violent tornadoes are those classified F4 and F5 with winds exceeding 206 mph.
		Violent tornadoes have been known to last for hours and a few have traveled more than 100 miles.

	Violent Music Lyrics Increase Aggressive Thoughts and Feelings
		To control for factors not related to the content of the lyrics, the violent and nonviolent songs were sung by the same artists and were in the same musical style in three of the experiments.
		The violent songs increased feelings of hostility without provocation or threat, according to the authors, and this effect was not the result of differences in musical style, specific performing artist or arousal properties of the songs.
		Repeated exposure to violent lyrics may contribute to the development of an aggressive personality and could indirectly create a more hostile social environment, although the authors say it is possible that the effects of violent songs may last only a fairly short time.

	Violent Tornadoes
		The violent tornadoes in the Great Plains tend to be between the moisture and thermal ridge with the moisture ridge to the east.
		In contrast, the violent tornadoes east of the Mississippi River commonly occurred west of both the moisture and thermal ridge with the thermal ridge east of the moisture ridge.
		And considering atmospheric jets, most of the violent tornado episodes were clustered tightly to the left of the 850 mb jet from the middle of the left front quadrant down to the middle of the left rear quadrant out to 225 miles from the 850 mb jet center.

	Do Community Oriented Policing Services Grants Affect Violent Crime Rates?
		For example, the violent crime rate in a county of 200,000 residents that experienced 600 violent crimes would be 600 divided by 200,000 times 100,000, which equals 300 violent crimes per 100,000 residents.
		A reduction of 100 violent crimes per 100,000 residents in a county of 5,000 people is not the same as a similar rate reduction in a county populated by 2 million people.
		The use of violent crime clearance rates may pose difficult problems because the number of violent crimes appears in the numerator of the dependent variable (violent crime rates) and in the denominator of the independent variable violent crime clearance rates.

		So, for example, when a teen watches a movie, and the violent person is a teen who is mad at his parents for restricting him and takes out his anger through violent means, the teen may strongly identify with that character.
		In violent video games, the game player is often asked to assume the character of the aggressor and control his/her actions.
		Violent video games then teach by showing how to be violent (modeling), rewarding violence and allowing you to rehearse violence (practice it over and over).

	SFPD dead last in solving violent crime
		Violent criminals who prey on San Francisco's residents and visitors have a better chance of getting away with their crimes than predators in any other large American city.
		However, San Francisco's 34 percent decrease in violent crime from 1996- 2000 was matched, on average, by America's 20 largest cities - a decline criminal justice experts generally attribute to a strong economy, tougher sentencing laws and a decrease in the number of young men most likely to commit crimes.
		The requirement that violent crime victims come to the Hall of Justice to talk with an inspector before an investigation will be launched may have cost Claire Tempongko her life.

		This growth in the number of reported Violent Crime Index offenses can be completely attributed to adults, since the overall number of Violent Crime Index offenses attributed to juveniles in 1974 was equal to the number in 1983.
		In summary, juveniles were far less responsible for the growth in violent crime in the 10 years from 1974 to 1983 than they have been in the last 10 years.
		However, the juvenile contribution to the violent crime increase was far greater than their contribution to the increases seen in the past.

	Ray Violent Video Games
		Violent video games send out violent messages telling children that problems can be solved fast by eliminating the source of the problem, whether by killing, stabbing, kicking, hitting, or shooting.
		Violent video games are becoming increasing popular with children of young ages, which can raise the likelihood that these children will develop addictions to violent video games.
		Although I agree with Dvorak, who says that violent video games are murder simulators, I feel that children may or may not be affected by violent video games depending on how involved the parents are in their children’s lives.

	Video Game Violence and Public Policy
		Studies measuring aggressive behaviors after playing violent video games (compared with behaviors displayed after playing non-violent games) have shown that violent games increase aggression.
		Children who expose themselves to more media violence (including violent video games, TV, and movies) are rated as more aggressive and less prosocial by their peers and by their teachers.
		Children (and adults) who play more violent video games are more likely to experience aggressive feelings, thoughts, and actions, and are also less likely to behave in positive, prosocial ways.

		Third, the term “violent” has also been applied to a small segment of the juvenile offender population who have been diagnosed with mental disorders that predispose them to severe violence and/or aggressive behavior, regardless of whether any or all of their offenses were by nature or statute deemed “violent”.

	The Psychological Effects of Violent Media on Children
		Another view from researchers suggests that performing violent acts in video games may be more contributing to children's aggression than passively watching violent acts on television.
		On the other hand the makers of these violent types of media such as movies, video games and television argue that violent children are drawn towards these types of violent entertainment.
		Unfortunately violent situations are all too common in everyday entertainment and there are far less programming choices that are non-violent than there are violent.
