The Effect of School Discipline on Offending across Time
This article below is just released about the relationship between school suspension and future crime.
Punishment should be looked at as a measure of behavior and not the cause of behavior.

3 Arrested in New York City Water Bucket Attacks – Patrol – POLICE Magazine
Attempting to drown police officers with water has become some of the most recent viral videos. This is dangerous for the police and the public. Note this is not the same as squirting your favorite uncle at the family reunion.
This is dangerous because the H2O attackers have interfered with arrests, sprayed an unknown liquid on officers, hit officers with squirt guns and plastic buckets, grabbed onto officers, and damaged property.
Hopefully with police making an arrest this won’t become a growing trend.
Police in New York City have arrested three men in connection with the water bucket attacks in which police officers were doused with water in videos that were posted to social media on Monday.

Is “Broken Windows” Broken? – KPFA
This is an interesting interview on the effects of the application of Broken Windows Policing on homeless people.
The premise of the interview was that when minor violations of law are enforced on homeless people it makes them more disorderly.
I think this premise is flawed because it is similar to saying that enforcement of speeding laws creates more speeders because by stopping someone who was speeding now makes them late to wherever they were going and now they have to speed more!!!
