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: You wrote that going to church helps keep kids out of crime. I buy that but how do I get my kids to go? Yell at them? Old Dad. Dear Dad: Show them advantages of religious activity. They will meet nice people and have an addition to their resume. One argument that many do not use is the scientific finding that religion is good for health. They will be healthier by affiliation with a religious group, and the research shows it can be any of the major religions. A review of the science behind this argument was in the current issue of Bottom-Line Health, by Dr. Koenig of Duke University. The greater the religious event attendance the healthier the person, even extending to an additional 7 years of life. Dear Dr. Crime: If people want to get “high”, let them, it won’t do much harm. The fuss about drugs is unreasonable. Sweetheart Dear lady: A lot of people feel that way. But the danger is such we should prevent drug misuse if possible. The Centers for Disease Control tells us that a good estimate is 72,000 drug overdose deaths occurred in 2017. That is 197 people daily. Many of those deaths involved heroin or synthetic opioids such as fentanyl. You are wrong, we must do more to prevent such harm. Dear Dr. Crime: I am a strong man, but I am scared to go some places I used to frequent. I don’t even go to church like I did because some idiot might come in and shoot us. Kids are scared of school and no public places seem really safe as they did. What broad effects have the mass shootings caused? Dear Strong Man: You are not alone. Many of the churches and other private groups have set up a safety committee. Do the same at your church, school or business! We must be alert; a safety committee can help. You are not alone in your fear. Last month the American Psychological Association reported their Harris Poll about fear as you describe. A majority of parents are fearful for their kids at school, and 79% of adults report stress based on mass shootings. Women are impacted more than men. Hispanic and African American adults show the highest stress. The FBI has a critical publication you should see, Jarvis, John & Scherer, J. Amber. (2015) Mass Victimization: Promising Avenues for Prevention. Washington D.C: Federal Bureau of Investigation. We will return to mass shootings as a topic. Dear Dr. Crime: Are kids doing more violent stuff than in the past? Pop Dear Pop: The federal NCJRS reports are frightening. The increase in murders is higher among kids than adults, more for boys than girls. Male teens at 3.3 % of the population, commit 5.6 percent of all murders. Sixty-five percent of homicides committed by juveniles involve guns. Multiple-offender homicides have more than doubled in the past decade and are often racially motivated. At a risk of over involvement in private lives, we should address ways to better raise our kids, and to overcome race problems. Dear Dr. Crime: Is it true that pretty girls are non-violent? Adolescent boy Dear AB: Stay home. Comments or suggestions?
