Crime concerns:What are yours?

Posted by Art Montague May 10, 2006

The Crime questionnaire will be running for 3 more weeks. By then, results should indicate a priority list of concerns. Until then, you may expect some material (for example, on home security needs) that will lay a foundation for more specific articles.

Back to the questionnaire. I selected five concerns out of ten I wanted to list: street crime, street gangs, sex crimes, white collar crimes, and illicit drugs. These have received some response.

Curiously, illicit drugs hasn't stirred any interest. This may be because drugs are often part and parcel of other criminal activity. Or, maybe drugs are seen as so prevalent they've become a non-issue, rather like liquor by the time Prohibition was repealed.

I'm ready to wait and see, but in the meantime, I welcome your comments.
