Joe Biden on Crime
: Jul 12, 2007 Authored crime bill to put 100,000 cops on street
I authored that crime bill to put $10 billion in prevention and 100,000 cops on the street. The vast majority of gun crimes are almost all related to drugs. And what we do is we, instead of incarcerating our young blacks and other folks in the
inner city who are arrested for a violent crime, instead of separating these juveniles, we put them in with adults. They go ahead and they learn the trade. They learn the trade and they come back out.

Al Gore on Crime
: Feb 21, 2000 Supports death penalty; no moratorium for new DNA techniques
Q: What about a moratorium on the death penalty based on new DNA evidence that has released numerous minority convicts? A: I strongly support the inquiry under way right now in the US Justice Department to see whether or not the racial disparity
on the surface of the data justifies action of a kind that they’re now exploring. I do support the death penalty, but I do not support a moratorium at this time. This inquiry in the Justice Department should be pursued.
