Why are serious crimes never really discussed in politics?

Two examples:
I was watching Cspan with FBI director answering questions. One question arose about exploited and abused Children.
There is a task force of about 400 Agents working on this.
And thousands Chasing white collar crimes.

Drug Abuse, fighting drug abuse kills police officers, children, includes tax evasion, etc. It seems it is more of a given up on issue.
I'm thinking if you're a Presidential candidate start going after the seriousness of one these issues. Such as stopping Child trafficking. I would think that would get elected faster than being for or against aboriton.
 
There's so much they can fit into a speech and crime would be the last, i guess no one wants to deal with it, they would have to start a new educational system to teach children what parents don't teach at home. they want votes, thats all that matters
 
Because no one wants to point a finger and accuse lest someone else points that finger at them and finds the skeletons in their closet.
 
you make a good point....but I think these issues are handled better locally within cities, counties, states etc...
 
i totally agree, but there is a lot of awful stuff in the world, and a president has to make sure his/her country is secure before helping other nations. also, there is a lot of that in America, ur right, but i think it's more the governor's job or a lower official to slow tax evasion, drug abuse. actually, quite a few corrupt politicians(including one vp that i know of) have been caught for tax evasion. the drug problem though is so large that i don't see how a president can stop it and be able to concentrate on anything else. also, they might fail in a lot of those issues, and get slammed for it later. i think while he/she is president it would be a better time to address those issues than on the campaign trail.
