Publicity alone could have drastically reduced the amount of crime in a small town simply because no one wants to embarrass themselves nationally. It can also bring a community together to watch each others properties more carefully to prevent a crime wave that they may not have been aware of. It's also possible that a single or small group of persons were responsible for the "crime wave" experienced before this and their apprehension could have caused a precipitous drop in crime rate.<br /><br />You also fail to consider that what works in a small town does not necessarily work in a city. In an urban environment people are less likely to be in a cohesive community that care and watch out for each other (I know this having grown up in a small community and live currently in a city).<br /><br />When you deal with such a small sample (a fraction of a percentage of the entire population of the US) you need to eliminate the many other factors before you can point to a causal link. Otherwise your thesis above is simply an anecdote, and meaningless statistically.JCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215907215217920965.post-37310931386342614092010-07-28T02:32:42.060-07:002010-07-28T02:32:42.060-07:00This kid sucks.

Simply put, far too many variables exist to over-simplify this topic as you have, sir. Real life variables such as population, socio-economic status, employment, population age and gender demographics (to name a veru, very few) wield far more gravity over issues than you seem to appropriate credit for. Additionally, i clearly cannot truthfully accuse you of over-simplifying something of which you have so demonstrated to know nothing about (aside from hearsay and signs of the ignorant underpinnings of your biased and frankly tired upbringing that frankly is just saddening). Take it from one who is actively engaged in the actual research (who holds two masters degrees a Ph.D., and soundly bests your IQ by over 30 points - not that anyone is counting)you are just plain wrong - and a loudmouth ignorant twat to boot. I hope for the sake of the future, that you and those like you are quite sterile, or are a homosexual with no desire to adopt. Oh, and to point it out before you no doubt will (as these statements of the obvious seem to strangely console those of your temperment) i am very much aware of my grammatical, spelling, and syntax irregularites within this post - i however do not care enough, nor respect you enough to trouble myself with correcting them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215907215217920965.post-28542398224577696802010-07-28T01:46:31.054-07:002010-07-28T01:46:31.054-07:00Yes mass gun ownership creates safe societies.

When I am hanging out with my gang banger friends I feel very safe because I know they all have guns on them. It's only when I am at my hippy friends houses making hummus that I am scared to death, I mean if someone decides to break in randomly then how will I kill him to stop him from taking my radio! Whats whats that you say? I am making ridiculous points by giving situations that are actually more complex?
