ROME. (UP) Murder, black mnfl and all major crimes are on the. declino In Italy, according to a recent crime report. The number of first class crimes In 1930 was approximately 60 per cent lew than pre-war figures, und considerably under early post-war records. This fact causes the pow erful conservative newspaper, "Corrlere della Sera," to say, "The Italian people are In a period of moral restoration." To reach this conclusion, the Central Statistical Office explains that viewed only from the bare number of crimes It would appear that 1930 was a bloodier year than any previous period. But taking Into consyieration population In creases, the average number of major crimes per 100,o4o persons shows a marked decline. . liower Murder Ratio Last year's figures show there were 2.65 m urders for every 100.000 persons living in Italy, while before the war the ratio stood at 4.27 from 1911 to the be ginning of the war. There were 1 OUT1 voluntary murders In Italy last) year, which Is less than half the .figure for Llin jwmrs 1920-21-22, the bluckest of the present cen tury. '' According to ' official figures there were 1,1 56,208 major crimes against public order In 1930, com pared, to an average of 970,620 annually before tho war. But, as the report indicates, this does not take into consideration Italy's In creasing population and territory added since the war. Before the war, criminal assault, blackmail and extortion figured as the most frequent of the major crimes. The percentage per 100, 000 persons was roughly 12.68, which lost year was reduced to 6.98.. Offenses against public or der, despite the rigorous regula tions! ' tne IinBClt government, havejbeen reduced to less than one crime for each 100,000 Inhabitants while before the war the average was well over three. , Climate Blamed From a geographical angle, the report discloses some .
