“They’re mutually exclusive? Who knew?”
Sorry to burst your pithy comment, but:
Law enforcement or Crime Prevention. Which one do you prefer?
Is not exclusionary. So, which one do you prefer?
For the most part, they are one and the same. Of course, I lived through the implementation of the broken window theory and saw, first hand, the many benefits it provided. Lot of people at the tim, mostly libs, labeled it overzealous law enforcement that had nothing to do with crime prevention. But as is the case with everything liberal, they were wrong.
