Eye on the world: Reducing crime by ‘feeding a cycle of virtue’

In an editorial titled “Feeding a cycle of virtue,” The Christian Science Monitor notes that crime rates are falling, not just in the United States, but in most of the world, observing: “Virtue is at work….

And more and more, these are the norm.”
