The Crime Wave That Wasn't

The Crime Wave That Wasn't. Christopher Westley of the Ludwig von Mises Institute examines the aftermath of the defeat of Bob Riley's tax plan. Somehow, the end-of-the-world scenario painted by the tax-pushers didn't happen. An important factor for the lack of a crime wave is that many of the people in Alabama's overflowing prison system are there for non-violent drug offences, and never committed any real crimes in the first place.
