CRITICS OF THE THREESTRIKES LAW STILL DON'T GET IT
The critics of the threestrikes law still don't get it. The
critics say (March 2) that the law has registered no deterrent effect
on crime. Statistically, crime may drop, stay level or even go up, but
these critics should be able to figure out that there has to be a
reduction in crime, because those incarcerated as a result of the
threestrikes law will not be out in our neighborhoods committing
criminal acts.
