Should home invasion = Federal Crime?
WASHINGTONConnecticut Congressman Chris Murphy wants to make home invasion a federal crime and provide more federal resources to parole and probation officials. As he announced his legislative proposals, the Connecticut Democrat noted that his state had two home invasions and murders in less than a year, one recently in New Britain and another in July in Cheshire. Murphy’s legislation would also seek to improve the FBI’s tracking of home invasions across the country and create a national training center for parole and probation officials.
