34,709 Recent Crimes Committed by Illegal Aliens:Where’s the News Coverage?

By Kumar Balani

CNBNews graphics file

There were 34,709 crimes of various types committed by illegal aliens in fiscal years 2016, 2017 and the 11 months of 2018, according to the United States Customs and Border Patrol or CBP, one of the seven components of the Department of Homeland Security.

While the largest number of crimes - more than fifteen thousand or 44 percent of the arrests and convictions of illegal aliens - were for unlawful entry or reentry, all the other crimes – 19,510 offenses or 56 percent - caused financial, medical, physical, psychological or sexual harm, impairment, or damage to the hapless victims, or led to their deaths. 

This includes crimes such as ‘driving under the influence’ of alcohol or drugs or narcotics, or the possession, trafficking, and transport of deadly weapons and drugs – that resulted in, or had the potential to result in harm to or death of people.  

The range of crime types during this three-year period was so wide that almost 5,700 or one of every six crimes were placed under the category of ‘other’. Needless to say, these ‘other’ un-categorized crimes may also have caused bodily harm.

How Organizations Can Leverage On Online National Police Check Australia Services

 

(CNBNewsnet)(December 29, 2018)--Running your own business can be the most satisfying thing in life. Everyone would like the chance where they are their own bosses as it allows them to better take control of the events in their lives. But there are many challenges to owning a business or company, especially where you have employees that have to deal with goods or products. Many organizations run losses amounting to millions every year due to the collusion of staff members to defraud the company.

But where does all this start? It often begins when companies are employing their staff. Doing a background check with employees is not one of the easy things to accomplish. Initially, it would require filing papers with the national police and waiting for several months as they check through their records for any criminal activities involving any of the staff members. With advancements in technology, however, the police service is also benefiting in so many ways. One of the ways is through offering online police check services. Below are some of the benefits to a business doing their national police checks from the digital platform.

RUTGERS STUDY: Negative Portrayals in the News Media Affect How Police Treat Black Men

 

Newswise — Negative portrayals in the news media affect how police treat black men in the United States, according to a Rutgers School of Public Health study.

The study appears in the book Research in Race and Ethnic Relations.

The study was based on the premise that public perceptions of male dangerousness are a factor in influencing police action and the public’s willingness to accept an officer’s deadly actions as legitimate. It also noted that black masculinity is often equated with hypermasculinity, criminality and hypersexuality.
