Nope, there's a never ending supply of crooks out there, growing all the time, as more meth heads look desperately for ways to fund their habit. Studies have shown that you do have a pretty good drop in crime rate if you keep the perps locked up for a long time, but lack of jail space and lack of money prevents that.

I worked as a jailer in my county for about a year in 1973- we averaged 25 men, maybe one woman, but usually no women, in jail at that time. Now, about 40 years later, average is 125 men and 25 women. The liberation of women has resulted in them acting as badly as the men in a lot of cases.

And its not making very many lawyers rich. The vast majority of cases are "indigent"- county has to hire a lawyer to defend the perp. Believe me, nobody gets rich on those cases- and its difficult for the courts to find enough lawyers willing to do it. The high dollar cases are few and far between.

As far as prosecutors working themselves out of a job, that doesn't seem to be working out, either. In '73, there were about 3 deputy prosecutors; in '96, when I did public defender work for about a year, I think there were 6 or 7. At last count, they're up to about 12, I think. Again, not easy to get good talent there, because they can't pay enough to keep anybody. Much of the increase is because of more emphasis on domestic violence/ child abuse and neglect. IMHO, much of that increase is because the losers don't have to work any more to live, just get a handout- and hence, too much time on their hands, and too much time with ma and the kids, resulting in more domestic friction.

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945.
