Just read the headline JS.
So does this mean that crime has increased but the reporting of it has declined?
tada

Poverty does not make people into savages, heathens and criminals, it's personal choices and a culture that accepts/permissive or even condones this behavior. Head to W. Texas and you have poverty, yet there is no need to lock your car or home in these small towns. Head into S. Dallas where the per capita income is higher, there are more and better social services for the “self perceived” underdogs and poor, and you really have to fear crime.
The drop in crime is because of rigorous policing, law enforcements ability to fight crime. Better technology in databases, FLIR, night vision...... more police on the streets, a tightening of laws that puts scumbags away for longer etc........ The problem is that the drop in crime is because of the threat of force, the fear of being caught, and the severity of the consequences that follow. However, when the systems enforcing this law fail as in Los Angeles or more recently New Orleans, chaos reign. The vermin will rape, pillage and burn.
Another great one John. Thanks for the ping.
I’ve been offline due weather related telephone system grief for the past ten days, therefore the late reply.
The rains took their toll on the old rural telephone system that services our area.
