At his Future of the City blog, Conor Friedersdorf links to an Atlantic magazine piece from 2008 on a new suburban crime wave. Definitely worth reading.

Section 8, another waste of tax money by fuzzy headed liberals. As if you can take criminals out of the ghetto and they will stop being criminals. At least Memphis can provide lots of footage for my favorite TV show, The First 48.Report

Only if you like old cases. Our city council thought it was bad press for us and directed the police to stop working with the show in 2007.
