High school JUST let out last week (here anyway) so it doesn't fit with the timing. The kindergartners probably all switched over to day care or have alibis from mom or the nanny.. All I am saying is that COULD be an explanation for the timing of why the rash started a few weeks ago. KIDS with nothing to do, no money in their pockets and no way to put any there. I am not saying all. I would guess its just a few if any at all. Good luck on the job hunt. I know its tough out there right now...
thats cool man it just kinda hit a nerve but its ok... if i was going to profile the rash of robberies on the increase i would say that a town has on average about 10 to 20 theifs and with the labor rate as low as it is of course the crime rate is goign to rise much like in the wild... when there is to many coyotes there is far fewer rabbits adn when there is more rabbits there is less coyotes in an area... in the criminal justice world we call it the pengilum.. I would think that the theives are becoming more bold and cocky and if the law was to catch acouple of these guys the crime rate would drop for a bit until someone fills the gap.... i would also believe thefts are on the rise too is because people at pawnshops and people who buy stuff like that have alot less money to spend so the theif is required to steal more to make up for lost profit... it all makes sense if u think about it. Another thing to look at on the crime rate too is in tough times like this domestic violence is going to rise also becuase families that can no longer afford to do will begin to quarrel and could lead to violence both mental and physical.... to put it all in perspective and make a long story short cause i just finished my degree in the fall at eku with a degree in crj so i like doing criminologist thinking and theories of why and follow up with researching a area and looking at the trends.... but here is about the best explanation i can think of..... when the money runs out the crap hits the fan....
