And we have concluded in this report that we have done neither in terms of domestic tranquility, as you said, there has been a decline in the '90s since the peaks in the '80s. But if you take a broader look, if you compare the late '60s with the late '90, the most optimistic you can say is that crime and fear have been about in the same ballpark, in spite of the fact that we've had a seven-fold increase in prison building. The original Violence Commission also predicted that we would have a city of the future in which the middle class would escape to the suburbs, drive to work in sanitized quarters, would work in buildings protected by high tech. That is the study of the future come true. Our editorial in the Detroit Paper on Sunday said that was really Detroit.
Domestic tranquility is roughly the same in spite of the increase in prison building.
On the other hand, we haven't had an increase in justice. We have 25 percent of all our children, young children, living in poverty. We have the greatest inequality in terms of wealth and income and wages in the world. One of every three African-Americans is in prison, on probation or on parole at any one time, one out of every two in the city. Cocaine is shorter, used by whites.
