		<description><![CDATA[I’ll admit to being one of the multitude of fans who have made shows like NCIS and CSI such hits. It isn’t that I don’t recognize how unrealistic they are—no publicly financed lab could afford such cutting-edge equipment even if someone invented it—but I love watching the search for hard evidence, and the characters’ willingness [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my historic neighborhood, we are having a vigorous debate about the wisdom/propriety of paying monthly &#8220;dues&#8221; to hire off-duty police officers to conduct extra patrols. The concern is that the Indianapolis police force is stretched thin, and despite Mayor Ballard&#8217;s emphasis on public safety, not much has changed, and certainly not for the better. I understand the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The recent dismissals of all charges brought against the Duke lacrosse players—accompanied by condemnations of the prosecutor who originally brought the charges—reminded me of something said in 1940 by Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson, who later presided over the Nuremberg trials. &#160; Jackson said “The prosecutor has more control over life, liberty and reputation [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Crime has become a high-decibel subject of conversation in Indianapolis. From the persistent challenges posed by jail overcrowding, the recent sharp increase in homicides, and the hotly debated merger of the Indianapolis Police and&#160; Sheriff’s Departments, crime prevention has become the topic of the day. And it sometimes seems as if everyone has figured out [...]]]></description>
