Assume that your neighborhood has recently seen a drastic increase in crime.

Further assume that you have 100 individual home owners and no commercial property located in your neighborhood.

Outline a three step plan to help reduce the crime rate in your area.

- Resume public execution by firing squad, viewable live on TV.  That seemed to work during the military era Smiley

- Fix infrastructure/provide incentives so as to encourage investment which would in turn create jobs which would in turn reduce crime

- Provide public service announcements on the downside of crime

- Abolish NPF and set up police force maintained by the various states.  Too much red tape from abuja.

- Provide incentives to police units for keeping crime rates down

- keep statistics on crime

- Give various LGAs incentives for fighting crime, so that say, those with lowest crime rates get certain bonuses

I know, but its effective.  As a kid, every saturday in the morning, they would show the thieves being shot on TV.  You know what that made me do? I wouldn't even dare steal a pen in class, because I was afraid I would get shot  Wink

Long term:  Catch them young.  Compulsory education.  Deal with bullies when they are young so they don't grow up into terrors.  Those that can't be helped should be permanently institutionalized.

Short term:  Crack down on arms dealers, leaders of crime syndicates, or other people who benefit the most from the chaos.  Reduce taxes on small business to stimulate employment and create opportunities for youths.
