Don't be fooled. They want to paint it as a decrease in crime, but it's all a charade. Would you prefer a country where violent crimes increase considerably and petty theft decreases? Is that the country you'd want your children to grow up in? Political parties aren't football teams that can be forgiven for not winning a league title in years. In a democracy, everything is at stake: your present and the future of your loved ones. We must be critical, regardless of the political party.
