The Criminal Justice System

Do you see some of the proposed solutions (such as community policing or shaming) as good ideas for dealing with crime in the U.S?

I think they proposed solutions are good ideas for other countries but would be hard to implement in the U.S. Japan, with one of the lowest crime rates in the world, have been using the shaming principle as part of their heritage. The U.S. is a melting pot of different religions, ethnicities and backgrounds and, especially in urban areas, shaming would be near impossible. I think community policing may work in the smaller communities and in more rural or suburban areas of the U.S. but I'm not sure how well it will work in the urban areas. Neighborhood Watch has been a successful program in many suburban areas in the U.S.
