   Sometimes, incredibly enough you , I or everyone must admit there is a   
   problem  for anything to be done about it. In many places across many time   
   zones , even in this county people don't have to worry about crime like one   
   has to do in this city. People can go and come and work at bettering   
   themselves and the community around them including their neighbors. Here you   
   have to spend the same amount time trying to protect yourself or loved ones   
   from people who are trying to scam you or harm you or think they are because   
   of the reality of crime. I have made suggestions , like more cameras and   
   locking people up in jails, without computers and without tvs, and without   
   cigarettes or contraband and THEN show them crying about their condition and   
   make that a deterrent rather then showing the crime or criminal going to   
   court in crime shows. If you commit murder, you get a slab to lay on , you   
   don't get a death penality because to me thats too good for them and many   
   criminals want that. A real detterent is not torture, its keeping them   
   locked up without any perks from our society. If our forefathers didn't have   
   tv or computers or meth, then criminals don't need it either and they   
   certainly are not tortured without cigarettes. We will show what a lousy   
   life or should show what a lousy life they will have looking forward to   
   absolutely nothing each day until they die. That to me shown over and over   
   would be a better deterrent than what we have now.How little time we give   
   the victims of crime is sickening. We undervalue their significance and   
   assume  a criminal has the right to do that . When I hear the newsperson   
   glance over the many victims , its very disheartning. Next story! We can't   
   deal with the reality too long, next story! .
