You’re joking right? Poor neighborhoods have the highest rates of crime.

And the billions spent on police aren't exactly doing much to stop it so it's probably time to change the way we handle crime in low income areas.

How do you know it isn't doing much to stop it? The story of Camden NJ says the opposite. Crime flourished as the police force shrunk, and declined when they disbanded and reformed a much large force.

Yet, the party in power in those neighborhoods have had power for 60 years. Why continue to give them blank checks? Why trust their ideas now?
