CRIME IN AMERICA

CRIME IN AMERICA! I live in the Atlanta area, and crime here like in most major cities has increased dramatically. What's amazing to me is how those in charge all dance around the way to solve the problem. They are willing to propose everything except what really needs to be done, but that of course would require admitting who’s responsible for the majority of crimes being committed! Solving a city's crime problem is not that complicated!, just do what has worked elsewhere, but evidently that's too logical to be considered! For example, when Bloomberg was Mayor of New York they employed a strong police presence in high crime areas plus they used targeted stop and frisks! Research shows that targeted stop and frisks based on specific suspicions by officers and not general sweeps helped to reduce crime. Also, it is necessary to incarcerate those convicted to get them off the streets! In Atlanta, it is no secret who’s committing most of the crimes. All one has to do is look at the pictures posted daily in the local paper, yet somehow there seems to be little interested in focusing there, instead the focus is on everything and everyone except those who commit the crimes! Never once have ever heard a suggestion that citizens make an effort to become more law abiding or to obey instruction given them by police officers!
