Hello,
I can't help but remember reading a "story" concerning the real reason why
police forces were appearing to have such effective strategies for battling
crime.
The story amounted to data supporting the effectiveness of NYPD's police
strategy (all police forces, actually) having more to do with a decline in
the population, or, the age of criminal eligibility. There are simply less
people around to be criminals, statistically speaking.
The same report stated that the in (aprox.) 3-5 years, those numbers of the
population who will be eligible for criminal activity will jump
significantly again. There's simply a larger group of citizens approaching
the age of corruption and criminal behavior.
How will these strategies hold then? I don't know.
Are these rported facts actually true? Who knows.
If it is, should Admirals of the Armed Forces base their 21st Century
warfare tatics on these claims of better efficiency?
You decide.
