RESOLUTION ENDORSING AND SUPPORTING THE
CALIFORNIA CRIME WATCH AND THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL'S PLAN TO RESTORE PUBLIC SAFETY
IN THE 801S
WHEREAS, one United States household in five has been
hit by crime at least once in the last 12 months, with either
property stolen or a member of the household the victim of a
physical assault, according to the findings of a Gallup poll
released in December 1979; and
WHEREAS, the Gallup survey findings parallel the up-
turn in crimes reported by the Federal Bureau of Investigation
which reported increases in every kind of major crime for the
first six months of 1979; and
WHEREAS, the Bureau of Criminal Statistics of the
California Department of Justice has documented similar results;
and
WHEREAS, there has been insufficient public attention
to the rights and plight of crime victims in our society and to
effective crime prevention programs to reduce the numbers of
crime victims; and
WHEREAS, it is essential to inform the public of and
broaden the availability and merit of effective methods of crime
prevention to help minimize further disruption in the lives of
crime victims;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL CITY
OF LODI: That, in recognition of the foregoing and the mandate
contained in article V, section 13 of the California Constitution,
which proclaims the Attorney General to be California's chief law
