Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

Probably not. Lower crime rates can occur for many reasons including a change in the age distribution of the population and lower unemployment rates. One cannot simply conclude that the lawmakers in office were responsible for the lower crime rates, until other plausible reasons have been ruled out.
