Crime has its own cycles, a magazine reported some years ago. Police records that were studied for five years from over 2,400 cities and towns show a surprising link between changes in the season and crime patterns. The pattern of crime has varied very little over a long period of years. Murder reaches its high during July and August, as do other violent attacks. Murder, moreover, is more than seasonal: It is a weekend crime. It is also a night-time crime: 62 percent of murders are done between 6 p. m. and 6 a. m..

Ours has become a society of employees. A hundred years or so ago only one of every five Americans at work was employed, i. e. , worked for somebody else. Today only one out of five is not employed but working for himself. And when file years ago "being employed" meant working as a factory laborer or as a farmhand, the employee of today is increasingly a middleclass person with a substantial formal education, holding a professional or management job requiring intellectual and technical skills. Indeed, two things have characterized American society during these last fifty years; middle-class and upper-class employees have been the fastest-growing groups in our working population --- growing so fast that the industrial worker, the oldest child of the Indus- trial Revolution, has been losing in. numerical importance despite the expansion of industrial production.
