in the spotlight 'The Politics of Punishment According to U.S. Attorney General William French Smith, violent crime is so out of control in America that people are now more concerned about their safety than almost anything else, including national defense. The political response to this public outcry is the subject of "The Politics of Punishment," a production of public television station KQED/San Francisco for U.S. Chronicle, the second series of 30-minute reports with Jim Lehrer (pictured), airing the week of November 1 over most PBS stations. (Check listings for exact date and time in your area.) The documentary focuses on politicians' "get-tough" approach to public outcry over the rising crime rate. Reporter Spencer Michels talks with government of­ ficials who are attempting to find solutions to the crime problem, as well as with both the victims and perpe­ trators of crime. "The cries of crime victims and of frightened poten­ t i a l v i c t ims . . . have reached ca re fu l l y t uned ea rs . . . " says Michels. "Politicians ... have sprung into action, with an almost frenzied legislative assault on crime." In Sacramento, as many as 600 pieces of anti-crime legis­ lation are now being considered in legislative commit­ tees. San Francisco Mayor Dianne Feinstein, who is seek­ ing more money to wage an all-out war on lawlessness, favors bills that would extend mandatory sentencing for repeat offenders and add to the prison terms for specific crimes. "Crime is obviously too complex for quick, easy fixes," concludes Michels in the report. "The reality is that, for now, we are stymied. It will take something more innovative than political grandstanding to control the epidemic of crime." "The Politics of Punishment," produced by KQED/ San Francisco, is distributed to public television stations by the Interregional Program Service (IPS). THURSDAY, NOV. S murder.
