Description:Excerpt from Violence Against Women The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 9:00 a.m., in the City Council Chamber, South Portland City Hall, South Portland, ME, Hon. William S. Cohen presiding. Opening Statement of Hon. William S. Cohen, a U.S. Senator from the State of Maine Senator Cohen. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to this hearing. Violence has always been a part of the human experience. Today, however, our society is facing such an escalation of violence that many Americans fear not only to walk the streets of our urban ghettos, but also the once quiet and safe streets of our suburban neighborhoods and rural communities in States like Maine. Not only must parents be concerned about what mischief their children might get into on the way home from school, they must also worry about whether their child might get shot in the school playground or mugged in the school hallway. As we look at America, too often we see a rising tide of violence, a flood tide that is sweeping this country and drowning cities and towns, and urban and rural areas. As I said on the Senate floor recently during the debate on the omnibus crime bill, we can and we should build more prisons and hire more police officers and prosecutors, but none of these can be done fast enough to keep pace with the number of crack-addicted babies that are being born or the number of children growing up in urban concrete jungles. The only way to retrieve our society from continuing a downward spiral of violence is to embrace moral values - values about caring and respect for our children and those around us, and about taking responsibility for ourselves and our children. As communities, public officials, politicians street police, district attorneys, and courts struggle to deal with the drive-by shootings, gang violence, drug trafficking and street crime that are overwhelming our criminal justice system, there is one aspect of violence in our society that has received and continues to receive too little attention. That aspect is the violence experienced by thousands of women and children occurring in the one place that, no matter how dangerous our streets become, we all want to believe is safe and inviolate - our homes.
