Governor Mitt Romney's Crime Policies

 

Press Releases, Quotes, Speeches, and Videos from Mitt Romney about Crime. Organized by year.

 

Smart people like Michael Medved keep saying they support Rudy because he “stopped Crime in New York”. We need to investigate all claims, if we don’t want to have buyer’s remorse in 2008. We need to find the truth, because if we go into 2008, thinking New York City Crime is going to be the issue that is going to let Rudy spank Hillary, we are going to be disappointed. Hillary is going to have about a 100 million dollars, and the truth about the republicans will get out in 2008, if we don’t get it out now.

Governor Mitt Romney Quotes on Crime

  • “Drunk drivers endanger the lives of innocent people, and that needs to stop. We need a per se law because it will save lives and reduce the incidence of people driving drunk.”.

 

  • “As the only state in the nation without a per se law, Massachusetts is poised to lose millions of dollars in federal highway funding,” said Romney. “At a time of fiscal crisis, we can’t afford to sacrifice any federal dollars that we could be putting to good use here in Massachusetts.”

 

  • “For far too long, the subjects of domestic abuse and sexual assault remained behind closed doors and out of the public eye,” said Romney. “Lieutenant Governor Healey and I are 100 percent committed to dealing forcefully and swiftly with criminals who choose to engage in these horrific acts against society.”

 

  • “Families in Massachusetts have the right to know where sex offenders live and work so they can protect their children,” said Romney. “Posting the information on the Internet will allow people to easily access the most up-to-date information in their own homes.”

 

  • “Today, Massachusetts has a tough, new drunk driving law on the books,” Romney said. “Sadly, for many years, we were the only state without a per se statute. Now, we can proudly take our place with the rest of the nation.”

 

  • “Public safety is the single most important job of government,” said Romney. “Once the photos of sex offenders are on the Internet individuals will have vital information necessary to protect their families at their finger tips. Families have the right to know if sexual predators are living or working in their neighborhoods.”

 

  • “All of us have a responsibility to protect children from harm. Under this legislation, if anyone were to turn a blind eye to sexual abuse of children, they will be punished,” said Romney.

 

  • “Stun guns have proven time and time again when used by law enforcement officers in other states that they are an effective tool in stopping suspects. It is high time for our men and women in blue to utilize this modern Crime fighting technology.”

 

  • “Today marks a significant move towards reforming our correctional system. For too long, our system of corrections has operated in the shadows of government, with very little oversight and accountability. It’s time to shine a light on how we can better improve the management of our prisons.”

 

  • “Make no mistake: criminals will be punished. They will do their time. But we will make sure their sentences are carried out with the decency and respect they never showed their victims. This is what you would expect from a professionally-run Department of Correction.”

 

  • “We are sending a clear message to the people of the Commonwealth: We are committed to protecting communities from dangerous sexual predators. While these high-risk offenders are under state supervision, we will have the capability to closely monitor their every move.”

 

  • “Nothing troubles me more than watching a child’s future shatter in a blast of violence. Our call for action will give law enforcement officials additional resources to protect the lives of our children and their families.”

 

  • “Our criminal justice and public safety professionals now have a real tool to protect those who join with us to take a stand against Crime and violence in our communities,” Romney said during the ceremony at St. Peter’s School, which specializes in youth programs that have shown great success in keeping students out of gangs and connecting them to their community. “Witnesses who have the courage to come forward and testify should not have to live in fear for cooperating with prosecutors to keep their communities safe.”

  • “In the past, efforts to reinstate the death penalty in Massachusetts have failed. They have failed because of concerns that it would be too broadly applied or that evidentiary standards weren’t high enough or proper safeguards weren’t in place. We have answered all those concerns with this bill,” said Romney.

 

  • “Two years ago, Melanie Powell went out for a walk with her friends and never came back. Her life was taken by a repeat drunk driver. We can’t bring Melanie back, but we can do everything in our power to prevent this kind of tragedy from occurring again,” said Romney.

 

  • “The reality of forensic analysis may not be as flashy as it is on television, but there is no question it is becoming more and more important to Crime solving. Investing in a state of the art facility is essential to our efforts to fight Crime in Massachusetts.”

 

  • “Whether it’s 4 A.M. on Christmas Eve or 4 P.M. on a Saturday in August when they’d rather be taking their families to the beach, our State Police force is on duty every hour of every day, dedicated to keeping the public safe. These initiatives reflect the importance of their jobs and the value of their service to the Commonwealth.”

 

  • "We’re going into overdrive this Labor Day to keep the roads safe here in Massachusetts," said Romney. "The bottom line is: ‘You Booze. You Cruise. You Lose.’"

 

  • “Letting drunks get behind the wheel of a two ton automobile is no different from handing them a loaded gun and setting them loose on the streets,” said Romney. “While the legislation that came to my desk last week contains several good provisions, it does not go far enough. I believe we can do better.”

 

  • “Massachusetts law enforcement shouldn’t be working blindfolded. By joining the compact, our law enforcement personnel will have the information they need to keep our communities safe from criminals who move to the Commonwealth.”

 

  • “Today we honor those who have lost their lives in senseless drunk driving tragedies and act to save the lives we could otherwise lose next year,” said Romney. “We have Melanie’s Law today because the citizens of the Commonwealth cared enough to make it happen.”

 

  • “Gang violence destroys the fabric of our communities and offers nothing but a dead end street to young people drawn in by false hope. This program will encourage communities to develop and pursue promising new strategies that stop the mayhem and bloodshed that gangs inflict.”

 

  • “Our criminal justice and public safety professionals now have a real tool to protect those who join with us to take a stand against Crime and violence in our communities,” Romney said during the ceremony at St. Peter’s School, which specializes in youth programs that have shown great success in keeping students out of gangs and connecting them to their community. “Witnesses who have the courage to come forward and testify should not have to live in fear for cooperating with prosecutors to keep their communities safe.”

 

  • “Victims of rape or sexual assault have the right to know if their attacker is carrying HIV or any other sexually transmitted disease. After such a devastating attack, they at least deserve the peace of mind that comes with knowing whether or not they are at an increased health risk.”

 

Wikipedia Summery of Governor Mitt Romney and Crime

 

In May of 2005 Governor Romney presented a proposal to the Massachusetts Legislature to crack down on repeat drunk drivers. Massachusetts had some of the weakest drunk driving laws of any state in the country.47 The state was losing 9 million dollars annually from its highway budget because existing laws were not in compliance with federal standards.48 Romney dubbed the legislation “Melanie’s Bill” in honor of 13-year-old Melanie Powell. Melanie was killed in 2003 by a repeat drunk driver while walking to the beach with friends. The bill included provisions that gave prosecutors greater power to go after repeat offenders with stiffer penalties. It also increased license suspensions, raised sentencing guidelines and required repeat drunk drivers to install ignition-interlock devices in their vehicles. Governor Romney urged Massachusetts residents to contact their representatives and ask them to adopt the tough new laws. Some members of the legislative confrence committee were lawyers who had represented drunk driving defendants.5 House Judiciary Committee stripped many of the tough new provisions of Melanie’s Law and sent a watered-down version to an eventual conference committee.49 The scaled back version of the legislation that reached the Governor’s desk bore little resemblance to Romney’s original plan. In response, the Governor filed amendments to restore some of the key provisions that had been omitted by the legislature. Appearing with families of drunk driving victims at State House press conferences, Romney rallied public support for Melanie’s Bill.50 A massive outcry in favor of the Governor’s plan forced the state legislature to consider Romney’s amendments. Pressured by angry constituents and negative media coverage, the House and the Senate restored many of the tough provisions included in the original legislation. In October of 2005 Romney signed Melanie’s Bill into law, creating the toughest drunk driving regulations in Massachusetts history. 51
