GET SERIOUS ON STUDYING DRUG DEALERS

I don't know what's more surprising - that UC spent time and money
"discovering" the traits of "open air" drug sales or that The Enquirer
found the details so astonishing that it made the front page of the
Local News section ("UC study details 'open-air' drug sales," March
1). Most people already know that drug dealers use communication
networks are very territorial and sell in their own neighborhoods. I
can't imagine that this comes as a shock to anyone.

How about a study that shows what leads people to a life of crime and
how that can be prevented, or a study showing the most effective ways
we can get drug dealers off the street corners?
