Procontrol

"Conservative procontrol values (including importance of crime prevention and support for extensive police powers) correlate positively with lethal violence. Social trust, in turn, correlates inversely and strongly with homicide... Southern states have, on average, more than double the homicide rate (5.8 per 100,000 population a year) of that in the Northeast..."

"The pattern of U.S. trade expansion followed by trade restrictions also appears to have characterized U.S.-Soviet economic relations, not only for the past three decades, but plausibly since the 1920s. Unlike earlier fluctuations, however, recent cycles have been occurring more rapidly and lasting a shorter period of time. The pro-trade period of detente existed for approximately five years from 1969 to 1974 before it began to erode. The strongest period of pro-control sentiment extended also for five years, from 1979 to 1984... When... expectations were disappointed, there was a tendency to view the Soviet Union as acting "in bad faith," lending support to conservative, pro-control forces."
