Take a look at this case study in Parole & Probation supervision.

Look at the exceptional criteria for closer supervision : 13 or more arrests!!!

Hello???

Unless we're talking about phony arrests (we're not in the case of this perp), I kinda expect anyone with like four or so to be singled out for removal, should they be caught offending.

What is with this program of dumping bad, bad people into the ghetto and then just allowing them to do what they please?

Think of it this way: they are under terms of probation requiring them to avoid contact with other convicts, but the places they gravitate toward are 50% populated by convicts.

INSTANT PAROLE VIOLATION.

Send them right back to prison, where they belong.

This dude was in Harwood, a part of town "infested with violent crime and narcotics activity".

The VPI program is designed to target about 2,200 superhardcore offenders meeting the highest-risk criterion, which requires at least one gun offense. Think about that:

2,200 and they're walking the streets

For those of you who do not follow statistical norms in probation, that's a HUGE chunk of the population, relative to most other places.

And it needs to be understood to be the problem in Baltimore:

This town contains way, way too many really bad people. No city with such a high percentage of its population of criminal disposition can possibly make itself acceptable to real people, other than perhaps in certain enclaves.

Neighborhoods 'infested with violent crime' and with criminals should be off-limits to parolees and probationers. Just being there should be an instant violation.
