University of Maryland Sociologist Peter Lejins has urged key reforms in the FBI reports, which he himself helps prepare. Auto thefts, he says, should be divided between cars actually stolen for resale by seasoned pros and those merely "borrowed" and then abandoned by joyriding youths. Not impressed, the FBI has rejected Lejins' idea on the ground that it might encourage joyriding. Lejins also questions the FBI's most dramatic statistic-that U.S. crime is "rising six times faster than the population." In fact, most crimes have always been committed by persons aged...
