The primary aspects of the plan — identifying impact players and directing social services at them and their families — are similar to antiviolence efforts the city and private organizations, including the Boston Foundation, have launched in the past.

Hey, they say it's "a brilliant idea," so who am I to argue?
But why can't I shake "Gee, Officer Krupke" out of my head?
Anyone who uses terms like "silos of responsibility" has so mastered political weaselspeak, you just have to kind of shake your head in awe. That must be where you store things before the delivery trucks of control arrive. Or something.

"The new program [...] will identify 200 to 300 of the city’s most violent offenders, who are known as “impact players’’ because police say they are responsible for most shootings. A list will be distributed to law enforcement agencies and community and social services organizations, who would then seek to assist the perpetrators, their families, and their neighborhoods.'
ReplyDeleteIdentify known criminals... and then assist the criminals?!
WTF?
Gee, ossifer; don't arrest me for killing competitors who tried to move in on my highly profitable drug turf. Just bribe me with enough "social services" and I promise I won't commit any more crimes. Unless it's still profitable.
Oh, it's Boston. Ick.

Even cops will tell you of their contempt for social workers who try to understand and reform feral youths. There are two ways to render a maneater safe; relocate it far away from the possibility of encountering human populations, or euthanize it.

These idiots should be placed into a silo. And launched...
