Hillary Clinton's New Anti-Crime Initiative

Senator Hillary Clinton unveiled a $4 billion crime-fighting package today.

According to her website, Senator Clinton's new anti-crime agenda "would cut the murder rate in big cities in half and put 100,000 new police officers on America’s streets".

TalkLeft has some analysis here -- anyone else have comments? I will offer my thoughts after I've had the chance to look at the proposed plan in more detail.

Previous discussions of the presidential candidates' crime platforms can be found here and here.

Thanks to Steve O for the heads up! (No, not that Steve-O.)

Boy does this sound like a rehash of Billy-Boys Omnibus Crime Bill of 1994. Smaller amount of $$$$, but same idea - including the 100,000 cops idea. Seems what comes around goes around.... Yet another large federal program.....yet $4 billion is just chump change.
