Proof that America's police are doing their jobs
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. |
