The Chronicle has run several stories on Houston’s crime problem.
MayorWhiteChiefHurtt’s preferred bogeyman (“bad” apartment complexes) gets some play, but there are also illustrations of HPD’s manpower shortage. It’s some interesting reporting from out and about in the city (and not just from a desk). I’m going to post links without excerpts. Feel free to discuss in the forum.
