Odds of getting away with murder

CHICAGO - Despite the rise of DNA fingerprinting and other "CSI"-style crime-fighting wizardry, more and more people in this country are getting away with murder. FBI figures obtained by The Associated Press show that the homicide clearance rate, as detectives call it, dropped from 91 percent in 1963 — the first year records were kept in the manner they are now — to 61 percent in 2007.

Law enforcement officials say the chief reason is a rise in drug- and gang-related killings, which are often impersonal and anonymous, and thus harder to solve than slayings among family members or friends. As a result, police departments are carrying an ever-growing number of "cold-case" murders on their books.

Another reason to end this ridiculous failure frequently called "the war on drugs". Decriminalizing all recreational drugs, and legalizing some, would take away the profits of drug dealers and their motive for murder. I would also free up law enforcement to go after murderers and rapists and the like.
