Bobbies on the beat – the simple answer to Baltimore’s problems. And AfPaks too…

without comments

On Friday, Jeff Krinkle and Alberto Toscano gave a talk on cognitive mapping in The Wire.*

As someone commented, one of the ideals Simon and Burns hint towards, is a return to bobbies doing the beat, getting to know their communities.

Isn’t it odd, that this is exactly what is being suggested be done in Afghanistan and Pakistan by the International Crisis Group? Is there some sort of relationship between the “failed city,” the “failed state,” and intervention?

 

* Shouldn’t Alberto just get a blog instead of posting through IT?
