The ONLY viable response to surge in violent crimes/homicides is more police presence and longer sentences.
At THAT level of criminality, people are deluding themselves to think that programs/camps/jobs/counseling can reach people.


That is not the "only" viable response. You can't seriously believe that a problem as encompassing as violence and crime has such a simple solution as "just throw more cops at it, problem solved."

As with any societal ill, all potential solutions come with their own adverse reactions. More police to deter violent crime also means higher arrest rates for petty crime, which essentially is just a tax on the poor and a burden on those least equipped to manage it.

First step is arresting and convicting the ones killing and victimizing the community.

Anything that doesn't address REMOVING the the most dangerous offenders from the community is applying preventative measures to a late stage problem.

People need to take field trips to prison and need to be put in prison for awhile so you can get a real wake up call about how American prison is hell on earth. That would wake a lot of folks up and keep you straight

That is not the only viable solution. Education, afterschool programs, and other resources, do a better job. police react to crime they don’t prevent it.

I was told in another thread about the homeowner in DC that clapped at 14 year old for being a thief that its immorale and unrighteous to do harm or harshly punish any youth...I think they should give him house probation and he should attend therapy and volunteer at a local community center but serious prison time is uncalled for :troll:
