A Gallup Poll into Americans' assessments of the crime situation in the United States and their local area has returned alarming response.
In the poll conducted last month, Americans were asked, "Overall, how would you describe the problem of crime [in the United States/in the area where you live] -- is it extremely serious, very serious, moderately serious, not too serious or not serious at all?"
Sixty-three percent of the respondents described the crime problem in the U.S. as either extreme or very serious.
