twitterSocial conditions aggravate murder rate in North LV
Thursday, March 7, 1996 | 11:59 a.m.
What has been done by the city or police department? Apparently nothing. I recently received a letter from Mayor Seastrand regarding crime rates and employee salaries. Apparently he has missed the boat when it comes to showing leadership to the city's crime problem and its homicides.
What is needed is a professional plan to reduce the types of social-economic conditions which you usually find in areas with high homicide rates. What is needed is a proactive policing plan which changes social behavior from the aggressive individual attitudes and encourages the mediation of disputes. And, finally, what is needed is the leadership at the top which could bring about such change and the capability to leave politics out of it.
