[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The real answer is that cops do not stop crime they never have and they never will. Cops apprehend and the court system punishes. Cops don’t even punish, that is the court system.

Social services do stop crimes, jobs, education, mental health support, community centers, churches, etc.

[b]The things that stop crime have broken down and that is why crime is up[/b].[/quote]

Military or reform schools? Why aren't those an option in DC. Where I grew up we had a high school for troubled teens and it did turn them around. I know quite a few guys (it was coed but I only know guys who went) who say it saved their lives. When you were expelled from high school, that's where you went. The teachers were tough love and there were lots of social supports in place. [/quote]

This makes zero sense. But I’m guessing you didn’t grow up in a city of 600,000 people. You don’t sentence non-violent offenders to prison which is what a reform school used to be. Further public funds aren’t used to pay tuition at private military schools, most of which have a sordid history of racism. There used to be Washington Metropolitan HS in DC which was sort of a second chance program with an alternative curriculum but the Council shut it down. There is a compelling documentary about the school. [/quote]
