As this blog has pointed out numerous times , the arrest rates for men compared with women in prostitution-related arrests is appalling. So allow me to focus on the press releases issued by WPD for January 20, : 5 men, 9 women. May 17, 5 men, 10 women. June 5, : 2 men, 3 women. March 20, 4: 0 men, 5 women. May 21, 2 men, 6 women. Not to sound hysterical , but would it be too much to ask for a bit of gender parity in Main South prositution stings?
January 10 β 2 males, 9 females. January 22 β 4 males, 4 females. March 9 β 3 males, 1 female. March 22 β 5 males, 4 females.
May 24 β 2 males, 4 females. June 14 β 0 males, 3 females. July 19 β 0 males, 5 females. September 8 β 11 males, 5 females. It should come as no surprise to anyone who has lived in Worcester for more than a year that the WPD has received a grant to begin work on such a system and is requesting bids β without any community input. I would not mind overlords who ran my life if they were compassionate and competent, but one cannot rely on those two qualities in this city.
And β lest we forget β the WPD recently did not release video that the could have identified an arsonist at large in the downtown area. On page of the pdf of the FY budget, there are all sorts of fascinating estimates from the WPD:. But some adjectives are unnecessary :.
Perhaps in Bizarro Worcester , people can be arrested between 6 am am for walking the streets at night. Last week, Councilor Haller somewhat clarified or perhaps corrected the thrust of the proposal. I spent quite a bit of time reviewing the Courthouse Records from the Telegram for the past decade or so; they are incomplete, but the best I can work with on relatively short notice. Any mention of statistics in Worcester that follow should be taken with that grain of salt.
