Unless they are law enforcement personell (or a reasercher) with access to the crime reports, then their observations are strictly that. Observations. With no access to the reports, then how can they say with a certeinty that what they observe is factual?
And how can he be certein that Trenton is worse than Birmingham or St Louis or wherever, when he hasnt lived in those cities in this year to make meaningfull comparisons.
And we are talking about the here and now, not the past.
Syscom - all I'm going to say is this - that classroom BS you learned in college is good, but it ain't the real world buddy. Criminal Justice is a lot of theory - and I'll leave it at that.
Crime rates and reports do not tell the real story, and you're very naive if you think they do. You think municipal politics don't have any influence on what sh*t gets reported and pursued by the police and the numbers are skewed and jerked around?
Things are different out there on the streets. You have gangs infesting the whole of NJ lately - they've even been cracking down crips and bloods in Morristown, NJ... a relatively well off town.
- You walk down some of these cities and they're smoking crack in the streets, and I'm not F*ing kidding. Come visit some of those places in NJ. The vast majority of that crap ain't reported. Even in your cities on the "safe" list such as woodbridge. The place is going to hell in a handbasket, not as bad as Trenton or newark, but getting there slowly.
I'm not talking about proving statistics to you. There's more to life than crunching numbers to prove this or that true. Experience is way more important and meaningful than a compilation of stats.
Because you never spent time in Compton, Inglewood, South Central, Pacoima or East LA, but then again why would you? I'd stay in my corner of OC and at worse deal with some wanna be skin heads! But then again you know as well as I do take a 15 minute ride to Santa Ana and we both know how different it is there!In the 25 years here in southern cal, I never knew that Los Angeles had a gang probelm.
Let me just also throw in there that statisticians can "prove" that the holocaust never happened based on population statistics, immigration, mortality and birthrates. Everybody knows that you can make a statistic say anything you want it to say.

I was being fecisious (spelling?)

I drove through Santa Ana tonight going to school, and it didnt look "odd"
Been in Compton, Been in Ingle"watts", stayed out of South LA and never went to east LA or Pacoima because it was too far away.
But I wouldnt suspect you knew that because you havent taken any college level stuff, have you?

Syscom get off your high horse right this very ****ing moment! You are not the only one in here who has been to college or university. If I were you I would back the **** up right now!
