Reddit mentions of The Crime Numbers Game: Management by Manipulation (Advances in Police Theory and Practice)

The linked article is light on proper analysis, so I thought it might be good to provide some.

It says:

>Elyjah Marrow, 19, is facing involuntary manslaughter charges after accidentally shooting 19-year-old

Deeper in the article, it adds:

>Marrow, 19, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter, possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and reckless conduct. The 19-year-old is also facing charges relating to the possession of marijuana, and having a stolen firearm, TMZ reported.

This is where one needs to have a deep knowledge of dey kulcha, so eye beez bout ta keeps it reel.

>Wut beez dat felonius charge? Dat be da PEE EYE DEE. [PID, possession with intent to distribute, a felony: large quantity of marijuana. Possession of a firearm along with this is an additional charge. Not mentioned in this article is that the firearm was stolen, but other articles mention it]

>"Yo nigga, dat my stash!"

>"Nah, fuck dat, punk! Eye gots da gat, dat beez MY stash! (blam! blam!)"

>"Oh shit da popo!"

>"Oness offisser, eye din doo nuffnz! Dis gun jus win oft!"

>"You believe that shit, Fred?"

>"You know I don't! But the perp's the only eyewitness, and our CompStat numbers are up this year, and besides, the jails are full. Let's bring him downtown and slap a manslaughter charge on him."

And thus is "catch and release" perpetuated.
