Misunderstood youth: campaign issues: crime
Article Abstract:
Bob Dole proposes that tougher sentences and trying youthful offenders as adults will curb juvenile crime. Experiments by states show that tougher penalties generally turn youths into tougher criminals. Preventative efforts that keep children in school and keep them occupied after school are more effective.

Bob Dole's independence day
Article Abstract:
Dole has declared his tolerance for abortion, which was difficult in light of pressure from conservatives. But the move is politically wise for Dole, as most Americans tolerate abortion. The Republican Party will suffer if its abortion platform is dominated by extremists.
