[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll save everyone some time and just say crime prevention takes a backseat to progressive criminal justice policy in furtherance of equity goals.

Essentially, the arrest statistics are so bad, and there is such a focus on not tearing away fathers from families or arresting, prosecuting and incarcerating teens, even if they commit violent crimes over and over again, that nothing of substance will be done.

Sure we’ll have politicians paying for “violence interruptors” and other rackets which studies prove don’t work, we’ll have restorative justice, and we’ll have lenient DAs who will focus on “harm reduction”, but this is all in the face of rising crime. Everyone knows just cracking down, tough policing and prison are the best deterrents, and actually work, but we’re in a new era where everything needs to spiral note out of control than it already has, before any policies that seriously deter crime are enacted. And now now cue up the social justice warrior posters who can’t believe how incentive i am. You can read the studies. They all show prison is the best deterrent for violent crime. Stop and frisk worked. Everyone hands are tied now and we just have to watch more puppies get robbed from people at gun point, teens car jacking cars to go on intagram joy rides without punishment and all the other. I’m sure Charles Allen will retool the Youth Rehabilitation Act again to revise the age it covers up to 34.[/quote]

I am a teacher who fears a particular student may gravely harm me.  Ot sure what to do as school can’t do anything and the student is a minor. He needs to be in a therapeutic home but his family is very dysfunctional and since he hasn’t yet been found guilty of any crimes I’m not sure what to do. If police become involved it would likely escalate the situation. Not sure where to turn.[/quote]

I feel so horrible for you.  Unfortunately I don’t think our government has a solution.  And my brother replaced a teacher who was murdered in the classroom (in another city).  These things happen.  Protect yourself as the city is just going to leave you to be killed.[/quote]
