the gazette claimed the only measurable effects on crime in the first few months were limited to a few thefts, assaults, and drunk driving going up. prostitution can be hard to nail down in a place like that. amills has gone to shit in the last few years anyway. sucks because my parents still live over there and traffic makes me want to beat someone's ass, get drunk, then drive home seething with road rage
The gazette doesn't see the arrests, especially from out of state.
They also want to present an image that there is very little crime in that area and AA county in general. If they reported the arrests that happen in Brooklyn Park, GB, Pasadena, Edgewater, Annapolis, Pioneer City-Severn, people would be in an uproar...especially the thefts at Arundel Mills and Annapolis mall.
Same goes for Howard Co with Columbia.
