Summarize points from the text which support the following statements.
-America has largely succeeded in dealing with its crime crisis.
Not really. However the figure has fallen since the high peak in 1993, you can’t say the crime crisis is beaten. Meanwhile there are two million Americans in jail and this is apparently not success or victory over crime.. Furthermore the heavy-handed police often focus on young ethnic urban males, especially blacks and thus the racial tension increases. These certain groups not tend to report crimes or request police help. This lead to reduced figure of crimes. Besides there are many still modern crimes such as computer crime, credit card fraud and tax evasion which are increasing fast. Among the young is rocketing mobile phone theft and shoplifting.
Around 23 million Americans have shoplifted. This costs retailers $ 12 billion yearly. They acquit this damage by forcing up the prices and an average family have to pay an annual “shoplifting tax” of nearly $ 800. The teenagers are the largest group of shoplifters and their main targets are not basics like food, but non-essentials-often fashion good. Over half steal because they want more than they can-or want to-afford.



The rise, fall and rise of American crime
In the 1993 was in the USA the terrible peak of crime rate since 1960. Alone in New York there were over 2,000 murder a year. Much crime, from mugging to murder was drug-related. Because of so high figure of crime the police appeared almost powerless and society seemed close to collapse.

However since then the crime rate has surprisingly fallen by 40 %. The president even declared that current the communities are the safest they have been for a generation. The reason is, that there is used the modern technology, which make much crime more difficult. These are movement-sensitive lighting, burglar alarms and closed-circuit TV and electronic locks in cars.

Furthermore the police carry out the hardline actions against the offenders. After having committed three offences it means an automatic prison sentence.

Although the Americans like this advancement, it doesn’t mean that is the best solution with battle of crime. Meanwhile there are two million prisoners and the figure rise. Furthermore the tough actions often focus on young, ethnic urban males, especially blacks. With it the racial tension increases. This leads to differences between actual crime and reported crime. Because of heavy handed policy with certain social groups, these don’t want to report crimes or request police help. This is probably helped reduce crime considerably.

In fact there are many modern crimes, which increase rapidly. These are such as computer crime, credit card fraud and, among the wealthy, tax evasion. However among the young, mobile phone theft and shoplifting is rocketing.

About 23 million acts of shoplifting were committed by Americans. Because of high damage in connection with that, the retailers are forced to increase prices. For an average family it means to pay more tax of nearly $ 800 in the year.

Teenagers are the largest group of shoplifters, and their main targets are not basics like food, but non-essentials-often fashion goods. Over half of them steal because they want more than they can afford.
