        There is much discussion about the best way to deal with the problem  
        of urban unrest and rioting.                                          
                                                                              
        Some say it is more important to use all available force to maintain  
        law and order - no matter what results.                               
        Others say it is more important to correct the problems of poverty and
        unemployment that give rise to the disturbances.                      
                                                                              
        Where would you place the Democratic party {on this scale}?  (7-POINT 
        SCALE SHOWN TO R)

        In 1972-1976 (not 1970), Rs who responded "DK," NA or "haven't thought
        much about it" to self-placement on the 7-point urban unrest scale    
        were not asked for party placements on this scale.
