Examples of violent crime in a Sentence

   This is an absolutely violent crime. Domestic violence is one of the most horrific crimes that we can deal with on a daily basis, its important that the public reach out, that these surveillance systemsare so helpful for us in following up and countering the crimes to combat these violent crimes in nature.

2. Betsy Brantner Smith:

   ’ Gun manufacturer greed ’ does n’t fuel gun crime any more than ‘ motor vehicle company greed ’ fuels DUI crashes and fatalities, people who do n’t feel safe are n’t free. And Americans are starting to realize that their freedoms are at stake because their freedom to shop in their neighborhood and walk their child to school safety and so many of those things are being hampered by out of control violent crime.

3. Kellyanne Conway:

   Whether it is student loan forgiveness or pardoning marijuana possession convictions, a bereft Biden tries hard to change the subject and get people who dislike him to dislike him a little bit less, this is less likely to motivate voters than it is to embarrass Vice President Kamala Harris. AsSan Francisco’s top prosecutor between 2004 and 2010, her office handled more than 1,900 marijuana convictions. Even if this makes sense legally or practically to Biden, he runs the risk as being seen again as ignoring the broader and deeper concerns surrounding violent crime surges and an inescapably devastating economic picture.

4. Monica Martinez:

   Can't speak to that. But senator, what I can tell you is that we've denounced lawlessness, not only as it's related to what took place on Jan. 6, but also the lawlessness that continues to go on across our country with violent crime, and what I would hope is part of this hearing that this body is likewise questioning our nominee about her philosophy on criminal justice as it relates decisions she would make on the court.
