What disturbs me is how debate has moved from wider, more holistic approaches to a thin, nearly contrived argument about gun crime. This latter approach cannot support the broad and deep look at what causes crime and, more importantly, the lack of belief that there is even cause for hope in poor neighborhoods and the inner city.

As inefficient and cumbersome as they were, the approaches of the 60s and 70s look far more advanced and sophisticated than present outlooks, even among progressives.
