RADIO PROGRAM NO. 429 - Crime and Christian Concern

with contributions from John Lewis Selover, Marni Politte

[The participants are John Lewis Selover and Marni Politte]

Politte: There is so much crime these days that people are disturbed and frightened by it. They cannot understand why there are so many crimes against the person, why people seem to feel a need to hurt other people.Selover: Often criminal acts of this kind represent a lashing out against poverty, discrimination, injustice, or frustration. But they certainly cannot be regarded as normal. There really is something we all can do about it. It's not enough to try to contain crime by dealing merely with its symptoms. The underlying causes need to be corrected.
