St. Maarten Private Eye

That 0 tolerance attitude was a complete failure in the states and it will fail here as well. Just read some books about it or check the internet;

This is the typical message;

'zero tolerance policing has done little to reduce crime in the long run, has contributed to social conflict and excited concerns of racism, and it is heavy handed and confrontational by definition.'

There are alot of other factors for the reduction of Crime in New York but the Police prefers to focus on a gestapo type of zero tolerance as the main reason.

I have a better idea; 100% police work.

Stop looking for the short term easy solution and do your job the way your supposed to do it.

keep up the good work SXM Private eye.
