A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SEAL BEACH, CALIFORNIA, ENDORSING AND
SUPPORTING CALIFORNIA CRIME WATCH AND THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL'S PLAN TO RESTORE PUBLIC
SAFETY IN THE 80's.
one United States household in five has been hit by crime
at least once in the last 12 months, with either property
stolen or a member of the household the victim of a physical
assault, according to the findings of a gallup poll released
in December 1979; and
the gallup survey findings parallel the upturn in crimes
reported by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which reported
increases in every kind of major crime for the first six
months of 1979; and
the Bureau of Criminal Statistics of the California Department
of Justice has documented similar results; and
there has been insufficient public attention to the rights and
plight of crime victims in our society and to effective crime
prevention programs to reduce the numbers of crime victims; and
WHEREAS, it is essential to inform the public of and broaden the avail-
ability and merit of effective methods of crime prevention to
help minimize further disruption in the lives of crime victims.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Seal
Beach, California, that in recognition of the foregoing and the mandate
contained in Article V, Section 13 of the California Constitution, which
proclaims the attorney general to the California's chief law officer, the
City Council of the City of Seal Beach, California, hereby takes this
opportunity to endorse and support California Crime Watch and the Attorney
General's Plan to Restore Public Safety in the 80's.
