Turning down the voice volume will stop all voice acting everywhere, but I don't think that there's another way. The voice acting in mission descriptions is almost always the exact same as the text, and they usually only read the first paragraph or so anyway.
You can also turn on subtitles for the radio and election speeches, but I don't think that anything important is in those since you can turn them off in the options. The radio is usually just jokes about recent happenings, and the election speeches are pretty much just speeches.
As it turns out, I'm not supposed to upgrade the building. I'm supposed to purchase amenities for the palace. Any building with extra amenities has icons in its manage panel that can be found on the bottom of the box:
Simply clicking the icon purchases the upgrade, provided you meet the requirements and have the cash.

Best Answer
First of all, fire all cops and keep any police stations closed. Working police stations actively reduce the crime rate.
Second, make sure you have way more citizens than housing or jobs. Shacks increase crime rate, and only long-term unemployed people actually become criminals.
Third, if you have a Bar, issue the Mardi Gras Festival edict -- it increases both tourism and crime rate.
EDIT: I think there are a few more edicts that can affect the crime rate; I'll see about expanding this a bit when I get home tonight and sit down behind a computer that can play the game.
EDIT 2 Okay, if you have Modern Times, also make sure you have the Police State edict deactivated (obvious reasons), and enable Prohibition. Note that the latter will seriously annoy non-Religious tropicans because you just closed every pub and nightclub by banning alcohol, so not getting revolts becomes a nontrivial exercise...
