The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, commonly referred to as the 1994 Crime Bill, the Clinton Crime Bill, or the Biden Crime Law, is an Act of Congress dealing with crime and law enforcement; it became law in 1994. It is the largest crime bill in the history of the United States and consisted of 356 pages that provided for 100,000 new peace officers, $9.7 billion in funding for prisons and $6.1 billion in funding for prevention programs, which were designed with significant input from experienced police officers. Sponsored by U.S. Representative Jack Brooks of Texas, the bill was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Bill Clinton. Then-Senator Joe Biden of Delaware drafted the Senate version of the legislation in cooperation with the National Association of Police Organizations, also incorporating the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) with Senator Orrin Hatch.
Following the 101 California Street shooting, the 1993 Waco Siege, and other high-profile instances of violent crime, the Act expanded federal law in several ways. One of the most noted sections was the Federal Assault Weapons Ban. Other parts of the Act provided for a greatly expanded federal death penalty, new classes of individuals banned from possessing firearms, and a variety of new crimes defined in statutes relating to hate crimes, sex crimes, and gang-related crime. The bill also required states to establish registries for sexual offenders by September 1997.
....
One of the more controversial provisions of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act overturned a section of the Higher Education Act of 1965 permitting prison inmates to receive a Pell Grant for higher education while they were incarcerated.
...
The 1994 Crime Bill marked a shift in the politics of crime and policing in the United States. Sociologist and criminologist William R. Kelly states that, "While the longer-term impact of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 was questionable, the political impact was clear - crime control or 'tough on crime' became a bipartisan issue.
...
The Crime Bill has also become emblematic of a shift towards mass incarceration in the United States, although its contribution to the long-term trend of expanding prisons is debated. The Justice Policy Institute stated in 2008 that "the Clinton Administration's 'tough on crime' policies resulted in the largest increases in federal and state inmate populations of any president in American history".[38] Jeremy Travis, former director of the National Institute of Justice, described the truth-in-sentencing provisions of the law as a catalyst: "Here's the federal government coming in and saying we'll give you money if you punish people more severely, and 28 states and the District of Columbia followed the money and enacted stricter sentencing laws for violent offenses."[39] The Act may have had a minor effect on mass incarceration and prison expansion.[40] In 1998, twenty-seven states and the District of Columbia qualified for that Federal grant program.[26] Thirteen more states adopted truth-in-sentencing law applying to some crimes or with a lower percentage threshold.[28] By 1997, sixty-nine percent of sentenced violent offenders were in states meeting the 85% "truth-in-sentencing" threshold and over ninety percent faced at least a 50% threshold.[28] The Bureau of Justice Statistics projected in 1999 that, "As a result of truth-in-sentencing practices, the State prison population is expected to increase through the incarceration of more offenders for longer periods of time," and found that the State prison population had "increased by 57%" to "a high of 1,075,052 inmates" while the number of people sentenced to prison each year was only up by 17%.[28] However, a GAO report found that federal incentives were "not a factor" in enacting truth in sentencing provisions in 12 of the 27 states that qualified, and "a key factor" in just four.[41]
The legal system relied on plea bargains to minimize the increased case load.[42] Jerry Brown and Bill Clinton later expressed regret over the portions of the measure that led to increased prison population like the three strikes provision. -Wikipedia

Right about now, Joe Biden is working to pass a new crime bill, which will also target black people.
100%
Half of my neighborhood was rounded-up and tossed into the new prison cell... for far too long!
Don’t break the law
This is a SHAREHOLDERS meeting on how to generate revenue.
Damn you are so right.
Damn brother Moor, you keeping it 2 real.
They the criminals that need to be in the prison just look at this kkklucka rally
HELLO!!!
they all invested in private prisons and they're millionaires now
I can't understand why so many black people believe Joe is for us.
They're ignorant just as they've been conditioned to.
lol, you realise how the race talk has died down since Joe Biden was elected. Blacks just got used and dashed.
Cfolo Jackson, it is brainwashing. Blacks, including myself, have been brainwashed into thinking white democrats are love and appreciate black folks. We have also been brainwashed into believing white Republicans are racist and cruel. This is why democrats know that can get 90% of the Black vote without ever doing anything for our community.
None of them were/are" for us" dems or rep. Dems werent the only ones that voted for this bill... also there were other Bill's put into place long before this one.
Years of brainwashing, facades of "pretending" that either political party cares about our plight,
remaining uniformed, do not care about our plight with calavier attitudes and worse, refusing to try to improve their lot in life. Take your pick. Don't be angry with those that are aware of this and more.
Black people was so confused he was not for us
Sad thing is some of us are still that way

Sick sadistic people look at this mess str8 kkklucka rally

When he signed it that was a wrap
This was a sad day for Black Americans
I disagree, black american take responsibility for our actions and stop blaming euro Americans for our atrocities. If euro american don't intervene (police gov etc) we're at risk of killing ourselves. Can you understand why the world see us as savages and we can't blame euro Americans for that today. Ice Cube said it best "US"
@@americahealth YouTroll..STOP...I will not entertain that nonsense
what about personal responsibilities?
Never could stand that jerk..and people thought *I* was nuts. Welp....
Just looking at Jim Crow VAWA Josephine Obiden makes me irk.
Look at all those private prison owners smiling 🤦🏾♂️
Strawmanning
Any document that takes that many signitures and different types of pens, is opening up the gates of hell.
Yep, just like that Declaration of Independence.
Maybe people should not commit crimes
This Is the REAL Joseph Biden SMH.......

Hyperbole

Absolutely repulsive
Pilgrims ...this was done on purpose...We have no friends...

This was a serious celebration for a crime bill. Imagine how big of a shindig they'll have if the can weaken the 2nd A like they want to.
They are in the process right now. Get rid of the 1st & 2nd. Letting Mexicans in to drown out black people.
Thanks for This Channel!!!! I'm learning and seeing things I never knew on here and I'm in my late 60's from rural Carolinas
Corruption
We were literally sold a BILL of goods. '93-'00
There’s ur Democrats 🤦🏾♂️
More likely DEMON CRATS!!
Same party different name
Republicans voted for the bill too....
Wait for it...Reel Back has a video of how it's was asked for by our communities.
💯
They the criminals that brought the shit to our communities & they don't live in our communities!!
Just goes to show how awesome Whitney Houston was.
They just don't understand.
so many wyt supremacists in one location
Well you can find the same number of WS are at every BLM demonstration as well.
Thanks for the reminding!!!
Couldn’t get through the lady singing the national anthem. Sorry, 😂
To think this was the President who happened to be popular and loved by black people smh.
My people are really destroyed for lack of knowledge, how you can trust descendants of the same slave owners who killed your ancestors is beyond me 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
💯
Fact's on 💯
Ignorance at it's best.
Your ancestors sold each other to white people
At 11:00 Biden is sitting beside someone in a MAGA Hat!!!
😭😭😭😭😭
Biden in the back 3:02
good work
Them devils were all smiles, and funny how they serenaded this with the star spangled banner 🙄
Is their a video of The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 ?
oh the timing for those who didnt know. time for ADEPA to go as well
i love your channel
Reel black do you have a “Panther 21” documentary or know of any. It would be dope if Netflix did something around that to.
I see a lot of astute blacks on here. Thank you for seeing the truth. And I might get some blow back but who was the first president to sign the first step at to get our black brothers and sisters out of jail...right Trump...but people call him racist though. Lets think for ourselves.
He is no different from the ones in this video. It was him who called for the death penalty to come into effect and said that 5 black boys should be hanged after the central park incident. A crime they didn't commit
Ugh...I was told to never forget to vote because my black people fought for the right to vote. As I got older, I wondered what's the point my vote don't mean anything if our black community didn't get anything out of the deal besides ban slavery and civil rights.
This law harmed the black youth just as much as the welfare state
"America's war on drugs" was to target Black people.
This bill that Clinton signed was a bill of evil disguised as a quest for justice. A friend of my brother's was given 11 to 25 years for stealing a radio, and all because he had been arrested other times for similar offenses. This guy never killed anyone or ever committed a violent crime in his life -- yet he received hard time like that. How can this be fair and how can this be justice? My brother's friend, who later became a part of our family as we loved and supported him through his ordeal, was a poor young man of high-melanin who got caught up in a wretched system and had no choice but to endure it.
Rudy giuliani support that crime bill too.
All literally the same ppl doing the same thing today... crazy... I was 1 when this went out...
Why are black people still trusting Politicians?
Heck if I know.🤦🏾♀️
Who says they do?
@@IAintTheDaddyMaury I was saying President Joe was no different than President Trump and President Joe was just like President Obama working for Big Tech & Wall Street but on CNN AND MSNBC BLACK OR SAYING GIVE THEM A CHANCE.LOL
Hero worship doesn't need good reasons.
A majority of the Congressional Black Caucus and the black people supported this bill.

We been at war for 465 years. (1300 if you factor in the arabs)

don't commit a crime. simple as that.

This bill helped with crime didn't it?
All yall folks in this comment section gonna get kicked out the Black community for criticizing these nice white democrats! Don't you know white democrats are benevolent and love us Black folk!
Why isn't the reporter adding her own opinions? She sounds like s robot. I miss this type of reporting.
Biden voters love this man, and support a racist. Trump voters hate the crime bill and are anti-racists.
Da claps are a ritual
They always doing rituals at anything they do!!!
Thanks Joe!

They would push for a much harsher law. th-cam.com/video/hDIG688dpks/w-d-xo.html
"The bill... authorizes life sentences for those convicted of three violent felonies ". I'm sorry, WHAT is wrong with this bill?
Very often they stretched the definition. Too many times they would lock up poor kids for the same drug offenses the white kids got a slap on the wrist for. For example.
It did a Lot more than that. Please look into it. It helped make the prison system what it is today. A privatized racket.
I support the 94 crime bill
You big dummy
@@blacvlad7123 hell yeah
@@blacvlad7123 Sir/ma'am, I, nor President Clinton accused a race of being inherently deviant, in regards to their behavior. I like him supported the bill. because I care about the safety of the American people(all americans sir/ma'am).
