The Federal Crime Bill of 1994, officially known as the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, was a comprehensive piece of legislation aimed at addressing crime in the United States. It included provisions for increasing funding for police, expanding the death penalty, and implementing a "three strikes" rule that mandated life sentences for repeat offenders convicted of serious crimes. The bill also allocated resources for community policing and prevention programs. While it aimed to enhance public safety, it has been criticized for contributing to mass incarceration and disproportionately affecting minority communities.
