“A newly released Cato Institute/YouGov survey of 2,000 Americans finds that when people are asked to select their top three priorities for the police they choose the following: Investigating violent crime like murder, assaults, and domestic violence (78%); Protecting individuals from violent crime (64%); Investigating property crime and robbery (58%). Notably, only 30% think police should make enforcing drug laws a top three priority. Some may find these results surprising, given that police made more arrests for drug abuse violations (1.6 million) than they did for violent crimes (498,666) in 2014.”
