Spike in youth crime ?

Gordon from Halswell

"The headlines asserting a 'youth crime spike' are not backed up by the current hard data. The stats don’t show a spike in youth crime, let alone a wave, swell, or tsunami.

Outside of highly visible headline-generating crimes they show the opposite - and Ric Stevens Open Justice Project reporting brought to light the ways current coverage could be distorting perceptions of what is actually going on.

Others have also presented a perspective missing many of the stories on youth crime so far.

New Year, Same Brain Teasers!

Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

A man was found dead with a cassette recorder in one hand and a gun in the other.

When the police pressed “play,” the tape said, “I can’t go on,” and then there was a gunshot.

Yet, the police knew it was a murder.

How?
