If NEw York can drastically reduce violent crimes, then so to can Toronto. Comparing the two cities, yes New York has more crime, but statistically, the rates have dropped 10 fold since Rudy Guiliani was the Mayor.
His approach was to tackle the petty crime, since the person who robbed somebody could easily be the same criminal that murders someone. With stiffer sentences, and and more money put toward petty crime investigations, New York got their wish.
There are too many times where we do not catch the small crime culprits. If we created the petty crime newspaper and a portion was related to broadcasting the crime, with the other aspect devoted to the capturing of the criminals; the pages of the act occurring would always outweigh the apprehensions.
Is it fair to say that the person who steels a bike when they are 14, that they could blossom into a thriving drug dealer? Would it be justified to then say that he drug dealer could then look to more profit by selling hardcore drugs like cocaine? Once in that world, there is no telling what they could do. They are then feeding, and being associated directly to intense criminal activity, where people are murdered everyday within it.
These criminals do it because it is easy. They do not want to go through the maze of achieving through hard work. Buy drugs, sell drugs. Buy guns, sell guns. It is much easier then going through school, then proving your worth over years of dedicated work in the office place.
Solution could be offering easy access. Do these criminals ever have a chance of going to Yale? No. Many criminals do not even foresee the chance to go to York University. We should allow easier access to education, and at a cheaper rate. They select to deal drugs because there is nothing else out there that is as profitable and as easy. Perhaps if we gave them a diploma, and a career, they would thrive within a new workplace.
Once we open the doors to education, and jobs, we will then see a decrease in petty crimes, which will directly result in long term reductions in violent crime as there would be no progression for individuals to higher risk activity. More people would be a member of society.
