[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious to see how rich DC people keep crime out of their neighborhoods now that they aren't willing to use police.[/quote]

The idea is to basically call in social workers for non-violent seeming people on drugs and talk them down from their high rather than involve the police. Maybe it will work. I’m not too sure about all the other slap on the wrist stuff like the youth rehabilitation act, not chasing the 100 kids on dirt bikes who roam the city, etc. this city is basically laying the blame on society for crime, which to some degree is true given the terrible historic legacy and impacts of slavery.[/quote]

Yea it is definitely true and that sucks, but the reality is that what is causing crime today already happened. It's a good idea to figure out ways to address those root causes in order to reduce future crime, but we also have to address current crime. For some reason nobody in this city wants to do that because it's not palatable, but they need to face reality. [/quote]
