Judge Walton spoke at the “crime summit” sponsored by the Department of Justice on the nature of crime in American cities and proposals for ending violence in the nation’s cities. Issues raised in his speech included the relationship of drugs and crime, funding for drug enforcement and treatment programs, and the administration’s crime bill. Judge Walton said there is a growing culture of violence and lack of respect for human life, along with the accessibility of weapons and drugs. He talked about the “holistic approach” the Office of Drug Policy is taking to combat these culture problems. close
