I think there is a case for strong action and intervention when there is criminality and when the leaders are corrupt or behaving in a criminal fashion.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If people want to get into leadership through corrupt practices, through corrupt means, I think that's detestable; we have to take action.
The fight against corruption is not bound to high-profile arrests and high-profile investigations. The fight against corruption is successful if you prevent corruption taking place in the first place.
Strategies that do show evidence of effectiveness include policing that's focused on high-risk individuals or geographic areas, and/or deterrence-based approaches that hold entire gangs accountable should individual members engage in criminal behavior.
Violence against judges and threats of violence against Judges is on the rise and it is no laughing matter. When leaders attempt to rationalize this violence, it only makes the problem worse.
There is an interesting interplay between power corrupting and corruption empowering. The causality does not go one way.
The appropriate response to terrorist crimes is police work, which has been successful worldwide.
In almost all cases now the police are as much an enemy as the others.
It's interesting that these themes of crime and political corruption are always relevant.
When leaders are no longer beholden to the people who elected them, corruption results and the recruitment of extremists becomes easier.
The business of popularizing crime is how we expose the faults in our justice system. It's how we expose police misconduct.
