We are constantly hearing about this homicide, that shooting, this robbery or that burglary.
Crime is out of control and no one is safe.
It is easy to become a victim of crime but never have a crime committed against you . With the information that is presented to us we let crime dictate what we can do. We put bars on our windows and we refuse to be a part of society for fear of crime. We imprison ourselves, not the criminals. The Topeka Public Department cannot stop crime by ourselves and the citizens of Topeka cannot stop crime by themselves.
