THE

GHETTO

VIOLENCE 

AND 

CRIME

It reeks of restless anger. Its tene-

ments are teeming, ratty black 

nests for splintered families. Its

rural migrants clot together as

outcasts of the inner city on gutter-

foul streets. 

But, like the dark face 

of the moon, the 

ghetto is invisible 

-- except when it

erupts before our 

eyes in the fiery 

gasoline - bomb

brightness of its 

people's impotent 

rage. 

Crime and 

violence are symp-

toms of urban de-

cay -- from the si-

lent violence of a

sick child's death to the impersonal 

viciousness of a rioter. But lawless-

ness extends beyond the ghetto. 

With an all-time high of 12,093 homi-

cides last year, the Great Society is 

a tense society. 

Almost three times 

as many of our autos are stolen 

each year as the U.S.S.R. produces. 

We cry for law & 

order -- but our

need is law, order 

and justice. 

Only

from this can grow

hope for the ghetto

and the decent

subsistence hu-

man life demands.
