more police may not solve problems

A report into policing in South Auckland says a promised 300 new frontline police may not solve the district's problems long-term.

.... but if the increased number of frontline police are visible, increase the probability of consequences for offending and the immediacy of those consequences, they will have a dramatic and immediate effect on crime.

Personal Reflection.

Now I wonder what Judith Ablett-Kerr, QC, will see when she looks in the mirror in the morning?

Will she be able to rationalise it (the 'anything goes visage' and corresponding behaviour) on the basis of, "everybody deserves the best defence possible?"

Or will she see it as 'one step, (nay, several km's) too far?'

Or perhaps she will be in awe/dread/disgust at what she has become?



& will she be able to rebuild her credibility?
Should she be able to rebuild her credibility?
Or will she, with her infinite knowledge of human behaviour, become an errrr ... expert on deviance ... a judge?
... time will tell.
