Tonight's FBI file, the benevolent court. If you think about crime or criminals very much, you are likely to think that most crimes are committed out of hunger, out of passion, or a desperate need for revenge.

But if those are your thoughts, then you are laboring under a popular delusion. The simple truth, and it is proven by the records of your FBI, is that more than half of all persons arrested have records of prior arrests.

The large number of crimes are committed by those who have devoted their lives to this field. Therein lies the great tragedy behind the current crime wave, for the number of people who enter this field every day is increasing.

There is a serious question in many minds as to whether or not any nation can long stand the steady drain of its manpower. As a people, we have faced our problems honestly and squarely. We have succeeded in solving most of those problems by combined and national effort.
