| Posted 2 months ago Deterrence? As far as crime in general ,or more specific topic? |
|
| Posted 2 months ago Kristen, if the paper isn't due until tomorrow I wouldn't rush into getting it done right now. Maybe wait until midnight or so? :-) |
|
| Posted 2 months ago Check out anything under "Broken Windows," a Federal program of crime deterrence. |

| Posted 2 months ago Hey why do today what you can put off until tomorrow. Unfortunately we don't really do the lecture circuit. Deterrence isn't something we consciously put thought into it's more like something that just happens when LEO's are doing what they are suppose to be doing. PAIN IS WEAKNESS LEAVING THE BODY! |

| Posted 2 months ago brooklynsergeant said: Broken windows and social disorganization is basically the same thing. You might also try "Routine Activity" theory. It’s a crime prevention theory. Also try community policing programs. Deterrence is one of those things that's hard to justify. How do you know its working? I have a paper on killer cults that's due next Tuesday, so I feel your pain :) |

| Posted 2 months ago You'll have a real tough time getting stats on deterrence. Its easy to say when a crime occurred...much harder to show when something didnt happen because you were there. |

Thanks, LT. I knew you would understand... I have a high school senior who is going to prom on the 17th, hasn't even thought about a tux, or logistics of the night. Guess who is paying the late fees for all the stuff? Kids.... can't have life without em... |

Tommy, Ive raised 2 older ones (26, she's married to a cop) and 22, my son.Both procrastinated too and it drives me crazy!!! Now Ive got the 15 year old (daughter) left, and I can see her older siblings taught her well!!!! On my dime too! |

| Posted 2 months ago Ok, yes, I was picking on Kristen, just a bit. Am I the only one who wonders how she did with her paper? I think it odd that she came here and posted for help, yet didn't respond, at least in this thread, to those who provided information. It doesn't hurt to keep your network connected. But I guess she will learn that over time. |

| Posted 2 months ago Just a little thanks to everyone for their input. sorry tommyo that I haven't posted anything. paper just got turned in last night bout 830pm after I did my presentation on it.
