Typical Mismanagement Leads to Repeating Crime: Not Punishing Bad Behavior

See The Capital for a sad but true story about a repeat offender who keeps committing crimes against us in our community--and barely gets punished!

The Capital reports that "The 46-year-old Parole Street resident has been arrested at least 40 times and has 25 convictions on his record for crimes ranging from theft to drug possession to resisting arrest. But police say no matter what they arrest him for, judges give him lenient sentences or order him to drug treatment - ultimately putting him back on the streets in a few months."
