14 LOCAL WRITERS DOCTOR CRIME Dr. Crime is a pseudonym for a social scientist holding a Ph.D. degree in sociology and in criminology. He has worked in all major parts of the criminal justice system. Drop him a note at the website www.keepkidshome.net if you or your child is in trouble, or you have custody issues, he may be able to help, give him a call (252-339-0000). Dear Dr. Crime: It seems we see more of crime victims than in the past. Is anything being done for the victims? The shooting of Jews made me so sad, I hope our government is paying attention to those hurt. Upset Citizen Dear Citizen. You are not alone. Take a look at the Justice Department’s annual National Crime Victimization Survey and the survey by the Alliance for Safety and Justice (ASJ). Also note that the US Dept. of Justice released a record amount of money for the Crime Victim Fund to help victims (+$3.4 billion). Some research has found serious deficiencies in the delivery of help to victimsi. Dear Dr. Crime: How many kids did you say are involved in prostitution? Perplexed Teacher. Dear Teacher. A review of many research estimates of childhood prostitution by the Crimes against Children Research Center at the University of New Hampshire concluded the research studies of that topic have been inadequate and we have no good, reliable estimate. I can tell you from dealing with that matter as a probation officer and as a prison administrator that one kid is too much. Please do all you can to call attention to what is now called “human trafficking”. I will not stop preaching about this! Dear Dr. Crime: Have the schools been fixed up and are now safe? You said before there was a problem. County Commissioner Dear Commissioner: We must keep working at safety in schools, as well as other places like churches and public meetings where specific groups meet. For detailed information on school safety see https://nces.ed.gov/ pubs2018/2018036.pdf. Bad things continue to happen in schools. As an example consider that research shows that for a one year period (2014 -2015) there were 47 school associated violent deaths. Other crimes also occurred, including 10 percent of public school teachers reported being threatened with injury by a student from their school and 6 percent reported being physically attacked by a student from their school. Boards of Education, pay attention! Collaborate with local law enforcement and also with local research criminologists. This could be your Ad!

Old Timey Deer Hunting When I was just a young boy growing up in Tyrrell County, I could not wait for fall to arrive. The first coolness in the air and frost on the ground meant one thing to me … deer hunting time. My granddaddy loved to hunt and deer hunting with his dogs was his favorite hunting. I can remember waking up and running to the wood heater to get dressed by its warmth in the early morning darkness. We would eat a huge breakfast of sausage, eggs, and fresh made biscuits then go outside and load the dogs into the trunk of the old car. Next we would get our guns and ammo and take those to the car as well. Granddaddy started me out with a single shot bolt action .22 rifle and as I got older a single shot 16 gauge shot gun. We would leave the house in the darkness and drive to the local country store to meet up with our fellow hunters and stock up on soda pop, honey buns, potted meat, viennas, and saltines. From the store we would drive to the woods where we were going to hunt and drive along slow on an old dirt path looking for a fresh track to turn the dogs loose on. Once we found a fresh track the dogs would be released and all the hunters would drive or walk to a spot By: Jimmy Fleming TYRRELL COUNTY along the road where the deer might try to cross. A lot of times my granddaddy would put me out at a spot and tell me to stay put until I heard the dogs coming or saw the deer. I could stand there for hours with no problem listening for dogs and watching for deer (day dreaming of monster bucks). There was no greater thrill than hearing the dogs trailing, jumping, and running a deer. It was music to our ears … especially for my granddaddy. When the day was done and we were lucky enough to have killed a deer, we would meet at one of the hunter’s home to clean and divide the meat. This was almost as much fun as the hunt! All the hunters would be telling hunting stories while skinning and cutting up the carcass. The meat would be divided into small piles that equaled the number of people on the hunt and a number written on a scrap of paper put on the pile. There would be a corresponding number on a paper scrap put in a hat that would be drawn out to determine which pile of meat each hunter would get. My grandmother would reward us by cooking up deer hash, fried deer steaks/loin, and awesome stews. These were days of no 4 wheel drives, no 4 wheelers, no radios, no tracking collars, and very few large caliber rifles (mostly shot guns) … but they kept my dreams of deer hunting fueled for many years and I still regard these days as some of the best of my life.

Pets’ chronic conditions are manageable: If your pet has a chronic condition that needs treatment, don’t panic.

Pet prescriptions may be available at your local pharmacy: If you need prescription medications to treat your pet’s chronic conditions, look for alternatives that could save you money.
