The answer that works has already been demonstrated in New York City -
tough policing of existing laws; arrest and jail time for low level
offenders; stop and frisk policies; holding precinct commanders
accountable for their crime statistics.

The ensuing drop in crime of all types was unprecedented, and totally
transformed NYC's reputation as an unsafe city.

I'm in favor of tough enforcement of all gun and violent crime laws.
We don't have enough jails to lock up many more low level offenders. I
don't favor building any more for-profit private jails. I oppose stop
and frisk policies without a specific reason, and that reason cannot be
that an individual is black, latino, muslim, et cetera.

So your solution for prison overcrowding is to let those low level
criminals continue down the path of crime until they kill someone and
then lock them up for life?
How is that working in Baltimore?


No, my solution is to build more publicly funded and operated prisons if
they are necessary.


So the idea of rehabilitating minor criminals before they become major
criminals is lost on you. You better build a lot of those prisons.



Your synapses are misfiring again. Never said what you claimed. What I
did say is that I am not in favor of private, for-profit prisons.

You're quite the trip, constantly mis-stating what I post or think.


Try to stay on topic and it will be a lot easier. We were talking
about "broken Windows" and "stop and frisk"
