From the article: “Criminologists say it is not clear if police shortages have contributed to a rise in many types of violent crime in the United States since 2015.”
Damned morons.
.
The line should have read -
“Criminal apologists say it is not clear if police shortages have contributed to a rise in may types of violent crime in the United States since 2015”.
Read the works of James Q. Wilson if you want to know about the causes of crime.
Also, listen to Mark Furman on Fox News and Ted Williams, a former DC cop also on Fox. They tell it like it is.
