Showdown in Simple City

Article Abstract:

Simple City was a gang-ruled community until five men in their 40s, who were either former criminals or substance abusers, felt that there was still some hope left for the war-torn housing project. The group was able to provide gang members with guidance, modest jobs and the inspiration to stay out of the streets.

When criminals go free

Article Abstract:

Most criminals are afforded the chance to leave jail by being under probation. This has raised criminality. Less crimes would be committed if the probation system will be overhauled. Prisons should be increased and frequent offenders should be denied probation anymore.
