Instead of looking at number of police officers to population, look at number of police officers to murders committed.<BR/><BR/>Last year, New York had 67 police officers for every murder and San Diego had 64 officers for every murder. Baltimore has less than 10 police officers to investigate each murder. The failure to have enough officers to catch murderers is our problem, that is why New York and San Diego, to name only 2, is so much more successful than us.Gorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03693323058277957064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10325596.post-33425716501815673832007-08-23T15:59:00.000-04:002007-08-23T15:59:00.000-04:00Jeziz H!

Look up the record of your typical murder suspect in MD Judiciary Case Search. Most of these guys have been arrested and convicted again and again and again, yet they get away with slaps on the wrist. What we need are brutal, unforgiving sentencing guidelines, with absolutely no chance of parole for any violent felons. A three strikes law would also help.ppatinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09016738612222736798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10325596.post-76384681974663770522007-08-23T09:41:00.000-04:002007-08-23T09:41:00.000-04:00hoco, what relevance does the police to citizen ra...hoco, what relevance does the police to citizen ratio of a wealthy rural-to-suburban county have in relation to a poor and working-class hardscrapple city?

They boiled down to the fact that Baltimore has about 3 times the number of cops per resident than Howard county, and yet has a totally out of control crime rate. I used to think more cops would be part of the answer, but now I don't know. The more cops argument sounds like the surge in Iraq argument.<BR/><BR/>What's the answer?
