So many communities are experiencing unbridled crime.

Kids are engaging in this too easily.

While I don't know what is the solution, I have this model for the problem:

1. A sense of a personal moral bearing keeps you in check
-- When that isn't in place--
2. A fear that your community or family will abandon you
-- When that isn't in place--
3. The Law

We're at the level of The Law for many.

We need to solve the problem all the way back to #1.

Besides personal antidotes, can you show any legitimate statistics that show that crime is increasing?

In cities all across America, crime is decreasing.

@corlin
It depends upon which crime and the influence that crime has on society.
The smash-and-grab and random attacks are impacting my city and state. It might be due to the fluidity of news, but it is effecting my society.

@jurban @corlin The Conservatives I follow on Twitter are constantly sharing violent crime news. So they feel like it's getting worse and worse...But stories are not statistics, and behind statistics one will find other stories... Plus, I think they are actually hurting their own mental health...

@JebKFan @corlin
I find that the conservatives I know will always being their arguments with "in my experience..."

Nevertheless, San Francisco is getting an unfair rap for crime overall even though it has been improving or staying steady.

I think it is the type of crime.
Smash-and-Grab gangs scare the shit out of people. It's a violent mob. Nobody wants to shop where a violent mob might hurt you.

And, retailers are getting hurt badly. My wife is a retail exec. It's really bad.

"Why do you rob banks.....
Because that's where the money is."

S.F has some of the highest rents. And some of the worst urban planning in the country. and the worst NINBY isam in the world. S.F. is NOT typical of anything except greed.
