    How would doubling the maximum prison sentence from 5 to 10 years affect mail theft rates compared to other federal crime deterrents?

  2. 02

    What evidence suggests current 5-year penalties are insufficient to prevent mail theft, and who specifically commits these crimes?

  3. 03

    Should mail theft penalties increase when postal carriers and mail sorting facilities could also be targeted for security improvements?
