reports of serious crime during
the first six months of this
year.
The rate of increase was
down from June 30, 1974, when
a 16 per cent rise above mid
-1973 statistics was recorded.
But Attorney General Edward
said, “We can claim no
great solace in the fact that the
rate in the rise of serious crime
has lessened somewhat.
“Crime remains an enormous
national problem and current
levels are — and must be —
seen as unacceptable.”
The FBI said crime reports
actually shot up more sharply
—by 18 per cent — in the first
three months of 1975, and rose 8
per cent in the second quarter
when compared to the same
More women are being arrested
WASHINGTON (UPI) -
More and more women are
being arrested for serious
crimes, but an authority on the
subject says the increase comes
from property offenses such as
forgery, fraud and embezzle
ment — not from violence.
Dr. Rita James Simon,
professor of sociology at the
periods of 1974.
The new figures for January
to June of this year showed
robbery led all serious crimes
in rate of increase at 17 per
cent. Murder and rape rose 4
per cent each, while aggravat
ed assault jumped by 9 per
cent.
As a group, these violent
crimes rose by 12 per cent.
Property crimes — burglary,
theft and car theft — were up

statistics show that the percent
age of women arrested for
crimes of violence has fluctuat

“But the picture for property

she wrote in a report published
recently by the National Insti-

Rural and suburban areas
reported slightly bigger in
creases in serious crime than
cities of 100,000 or more
inhabitants. The urban crime
rate was up 12 per cent,
compared to 13 per cent in
rural areas and 14 per cent in
suburbs.
The South showed a 16 per

one in every 12 persons
arrested for a property crime
was a woman. In 1973, one in
every five was a woman.
As a result of the stability of
the percentage of women linked
to violent crimes, Dr. Simon
said in a telephone interview
she did not think it was
significant that women were
involved in the two recent
presidential assassination at
tempts.
Dr. Simon said in the report,
The Contemporary Woman and
Crime, it would be reasonable
to assume that the women’s
movement has had “some
effect on the psyche, the
consciousness and the self
perceptions of many women in
Permission to return
AGANA, Guam (UPI) - The
United States has given 1,600
South Vietnamese refugees
permission to go home despite
the apparent reluctance of the
Communist regime to accept
them.
U.S. officials said a South
Vietnamese ship that brought
escaping refugees to Guam last
spring would be used to take
the group back in about three
weeks.
Robert Keeley, an official of
the Interagency Task Force on
Indochina Refugees, said Tues

“But the extent to which it
has motivated those women to
act outside the law in order to
gain financial rewards, ven
geance, or power is still too
early to assess,” she said.
Dr. Simon said the major
hypothesis is that increased
participation in the labor force
in recent years has given
women more opportunities to
commit larceny, fraud, embez
zlement and other financial and
white collar crimes.
“If present trends continue,
in 20 years women will
probably be involved in white
collar crimes in a proportion
commensurate with their re

she wrote.

“We are assuming that the
South Vietnamese authorities
will not turn back their own

Zia Rizvi, assistant to the
U.N. High Commissioner for
Refugees, said the South
Vietnamese government wants
more time to screen the
