They can't even do the proper research to find out just why crime creeped into the previously calm and quiet areas of cities. As the rich moved out, the poor moved in. Crime simply transfered from one area to another. Classical theory of crime and the Broken Windows explains this. Crime didn't go up, rather, it transfered from one area to another. Methods of documenting and tracking crime has changed, as well, making some areas appear as if crime went up or down, when it stayed the same in commission. Baby boomers also increased the crime rate in areas with their sheer numbers. Now, however, crime really IS going down, partly because of the boomers aging out of crime.
While they are downgrading college for the rank and file, they are also downgrading it for the writers of the mags. With no opportunities for REAL comments from readers, they can keep the mags dummed down with no checks and balances.
I'm still floored with how shortsighted, shallow, and empty the writing really is. They keep the sheeple blinded to the real world with that rule of only doing research in WTS publications.
