For all the crime in Charles Village, I never really see police patrolling the neighborhood. It seems like two squad cars with two cops each, could easily patrol the area where these crimes occur. It would be a pretty good deterent to see a regular and random police presence.
What a fucking zoo.
And here's
more:
I'm telling you, the Northern is in trouble. The kind of trouble that results in people leaving again. Quite a few people at the Guilford meeting mentioned this, in spite of remonstrations that 'this usuually doesn't happen here.'
People that say "that usually doesn't happen here" amaze me. It just did happen here. What makes you think you community is so damn special?
That ranks right up there with "There is no way my son did that, he's a good boy".
Well, it's partly about property values. They'd like to imagine that there is a huge difference in exposure between their homes in Guilford and those in Waverly across the street.
Waverly people know that the crime is rampant. Guilford people get incenced when it crosses the street and visits them.
It's all in this notion of crime being 'allowed' in some places and unallowed in others.
You'll notice that no one at the Guilford meeting called for the police to better patrol the Northern Corridor,... just their little slice of it.
The way to eliminate the criminals is to find them where they live, not to ward them off of some enclave.
It's time for Baltimore to realize that it hasn't got enough officers to babysit the huge population of offenders who have been allowed to colonize this city.
I refer you to the study of police manpower effectiveness in lowering crime conducted by Marvell & Moody in 1996. They examined 56 cities, finding compelling evidence that more officers reduces crime, particularly in dense urban environments.
The Marvell and Moody estimate shows that six times as much crime is prevented for each officer added in cities than added in all places on average. Why the benefit ratio exceeds the risk ratio is unknown, but one likely candidate is the greater population density in cities which lets additional police officers have greater effects on patrol visibility per resident.
Stop screwing around and hire more f#@Kin' cops! People are being stuffed into the trunks of cars, for crying out loud. That should be a wakeup call.
The Marvell & Moody study appeared in a 1996 volume of Criminology and addresses issues of so-called Specification Problems of interest in Econometrics.
Another, more recent study of somewhat less rigor, is found here.
It finds that policing effort can be quite effective and normatively addresses the importance of incentivizing service providers, including oversight from a national level. (wouldn't that be nice in Baltimore?)
It also recognizes the important contribution of the demographic characteristics associted to particular places to the incidence of crime.
As Interim-Mayor R-W thinks about what to do in terms of worsening public safety, I encourage her to read up and then step up to the plate.
That study, Dutch in origin, finds considerable deterrent effect of policing on theft from auto, violent crime, juvenile nuisance, and drug nuisance.
Sound like Charles Village ???
Oh, and the burglary spree just keeps on a-goin' on the Samurai block of E. University Pkwy.
