I don't think the article which the letter refers to was the place as crime only occupied a part of that article and hence that's why i wrote the letter to develop these ideas - but even this is fairly rough and is not particularly detailed.<BR/>As you say - more detailed measures would have be drawn up and the article only puts a vague outline on what these would be - bu they would have to take into account the context of venezuela and seek to mobilise the involvement of ordinary venezuelans.<BR/>But thanks for the comment and if you want to develop it further feel free toLeftwing Criminologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369810078697007763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287999849939481621.post-88625489606739721022008-04-16T03:12:00.000-07:002008-04-16T03:12:00.000-07:00Hi,I just wanted to say congratulations on running...Hi,<BR/>I just wanted to say congratulations on running this site. We really need a left-wing angle on crime and how to combat it. Please keep the site going.<BR/>On the particular article you refer to (Tony Saunois) the problem is that it is does not include practical proposals. For one thing, I believe the government needs to launch a mass democratically controlled anti-crime force based on the community councils. This should be part of a national campaign, an amnesty, special phone lines etc. I am sure there are many other practical proposals that could be made.<BR/><BR/>Warm regards,<BR/><BR/>Patrick ByrnePatrick Byrnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764228110827133848noreply@blogger.com
