(Woman) This is KABC Radio.
I'm Geri Nichols.
Latest crime statistics, released today,
show an alarming rise in violence.
In the last five years, gun fights in
Los Angeles County are up 79 percent.
Robberies are up 68 percent.
Aggravated assault, another violent
crime, shows an increase of 59 percent.
Rapes have increased 61 percent
and lesser crimes are up, too.
Today I spoke to Los Angeles
Police Commissioner, Herman Baldwin.
(Baldwin) The fear of crime has brought
a deterioration of our community.
It's almost as if
We've been struck by enemy bombs.
The number of citizens killed and
maimed by criminal violence
has produced in me
The only way we'll win,
and this is a war,
is by assuming the offensive.
Positive policing is the answer.
We must deploy all our resources
or criminal violence will destroy our
community.
(Geri) But what resources are needed
to diminish the alarming rise in crimes?
Some say heavier prison sentences and
an increased police facility are enough.
I'm one of them.
(Geri) Others believe
that prison never cured anyone.
Judging by the rise in violence,
nor does it deter.
Here comes the commercial.
I know it's your station, and I like
Miss Nichols, but I can't take this.
It's not my station, I'm the architect
for the new one. Miss Nichols is late.
- She's still on the radio.
- They recorded that earlier.
- There she is now.
- Don't be late for dinner.
- Your daughter ate well last time.
- You're a great cook.
- For her, nothing is too much.
- We won't be late.
- We have to be there at 10:30.
- We'll make it.
The senator's aide
would not get off the phone.
Los Angeles magazine likes my idea
of a series of articles
on criminal rehabilitation.
That's great.
Hello, baby. You look really good.
(Geri) Hi, Carol.
We're not late, are we?
Has there been any progress this week,
Doctor?
Nurse says she asked for dinner
on Thursday.
That's the fifth week running
she's spoken.
That's not much after two years.
Will she ever come back to me?
Will she ever be normal again?
You're her father, Mr. Kersey.
You can only give her your love.
And your prayers, too.
(children laughing)
I remember you liked kites as a kid.
Do you still like'em?
(Mexican music)
We haven't bought you an ice cream yet.
You mean we haven't bought you one.
A man has to have some pleasures.
I'll tell you what.
You choose whatever you want here.
I'll go off and buy the ice cream.
(rock music from ghetto blaster)
(gang member) Look at him.
So, what he look like?
Let's do it.
- Out the way.
- Get out the way!.
- Watch out, asshole!.
- (jeering laughter)
Go get your ice cream, man.
Asshole.
- Hey!.
- (woman) They got his wallet!
It's nice.
- Where's my wallet?
- I ain't got it.
(Mexican music)
Guess what?
I got there and I'd forgotten my wallet.
This time you two come with me.
- I'm gonna have to borrow some money.
(man) Carol! Where have you been?
I haven't seen you for two weeks.
- What happened, Paul?
- Nothing.
You didn't forget your wallet.
I'll tell you about it later.
I could stay.
I could do the interview another time.
The senator's only here for a day.
You shouldn't miss the opportunity.
- See you at dinner, OK?
- Hey, Paul. You coming aboard?
This is the place.
Super fine.
Easy, my man. We got business.
(Woman on TV) Mike,
I thought you weren't coming.
- (Mike) You know I wouldn't...
- (Woman) You are going to...
(doorbell chimes)
