Crime Returns as a Political Issue

"I think both parties will talk about this issue, but in very different ways," says Princeton University historian Julian Zelizer. "Already we have seen how this has creeped into the campaign. Hillary Clinton has made some more aggressive statements, connected to domestic policy and inequality, to address the issue. Republicans ... have focused more on the social and cultural problems that they see in the communities at hand. I think each party will discuss this through the prism of their broader ideology."
