Admittedly, I'm a socially obtuse freak, but I suspect that there's sense that option three seems to be what they're expecting.* Even with increases in taxation to pay for cops, you can't have cops everywhere. Regardless, stop and frisk is a heavy handed and crude, yet common sense option for filtering a population for illegal guns, drugs, and bail jumpers. Compstat is great for looking at patterns of crimes, especially rapes and robberies, so it gives police clues as to various hotspots for those types of crimes, but it's not a solution for problems of two young men shooting each other over women. Scaring the young men who would be likely to carry out of carrying, or finding the young men who are carrying is the best way to try and reduce the crime, but in the long-term something is going to have to be done to reduce the tendency of these men to shoot each other for nothing, and to reduce the illegal guns that are coming in from other sources.*Plus, as I've noticed, there's a sense within these communities that their white equivalents don't get searched, and that the frisks don't work because there are still criminals with guns walking around. |
