Good morning. A fine essay as always, thank you. Of the off chance that you have not read Bill Keller's email interview with Jill Leovy I am attaching the link. Your observation about the YSL arrest feels spot on. Leovy's prose is terrific Poli-Sci language that feels real.
The simple fact that dozens of gang members -who were apparently quite busy murderingtheir rivals - are now languishing in jail should be a contributing factor, no? I was actually dismayed last year when homicides appeared not to drop, despite the number of gang leaders freshly rounded up. Or were gang killings not perpetrated by a concentrated few?
i find it highly plausible that the YSL trial has helped reduce the rates of violent crime. A large number of violent criminals are locked up and the ones roaming free might not want to be, so they refrain from endangering their freedom.
