crime rates, part II
BTW, Norman isn’t nearly blameless, and I’d go so far as to say that 2008 was a major step backward for the city in terms of crime. Well, not so much a step backward but a step into territory this city has rarely seen.
Over the past four weeks, there have been at least two or three home-invasion robberies in Norman, the most recent of which was New Year’s Eve.
The home-invasion attack is probably the scariest and most violating attack of them all. But how do we stop any of it?
Longer prison terms for violent offenders and lesser terms for non-violent offenders. Cohesive family units for kids growing up. Allow and encourage people to defend themselves.
