Proof that America's police are doing their jobs

[Pastor Isaac Peters]

Don't listen to the America-last lie-berals. Our police are doing a great job of catching criminals, and even the JYT admits it:

Many in U.S. Are Arrested by Age 23, Study Finds
By ERICA BADDE

By age 23, almost a third of Americans have been arrested for a crime, according to a new study that researchers say is a measure of growing exposure to the criminal justice system in everyday life.

The study, the first since the 1960s to look at the arrest histories of a national sample of adolescents and young adults over time, found that 30.2 percent of the 23-year-olds who participated reported having been arrested for an offense other than a minor traffic violation.

That figure is significantly higher than the 22 percent found in a 1965 study that examined the same issue using different methods. The increase may be a reflection of the justice system becoming more punitive and more aggressive in its reach during the last half-century, the researchers said. Arrests for drug-related offenses, for example, have become far more common, as have zero-tolerance policies in schools.

Thank you, police officers. If even one life is saved, it will have been worth it.

It sad to know that many in US are arrested by age 23. Having an arrest record is not good because it can lead to greater risk of family conflicts and unemployment. This will really affect their future. Adolescents and young adults, over the last 11 years, have been shown by research to be more likely to be imprisoned. These statistics do not say if this is due to a higher willingness to arrest, or because of an increased occurrence of crime Article source: Up to 41 percent of 23 year olds have been arrested at least once

But are they sinning and do they need to know their souls are in peril?
