Police Make 10 Million Arrests a Year, but That Doesn’t Mean They’re Solving Crimes
The intercept has an interesting article on police arrests. In the article the Vera Institute has a new arrest day a tool the looks very interesting. I have a like to it in the post right before this post.
Too many arrests? Is it the police fault or the persons breaking the law?
Amid aggressive enforcement of minor offenses, most victims don’t report crimes to police and fewer than 25 percent of reported crimes are solved by arrest.
