October 20, 2010. Twenty-Year Women Named Police Chief in the Dangerous Borders of Mexico.

According to the Article I read it mentions how a 'Women' has be put the title of Police Chief of the police department in Mexico. An expert in Criminal Justice mentions how this women of twenty years old will not be in control of what is happening in the mexican borders. It is so bad that its too much for her to handle and stop all the violence that is occuring. Not only is she police chief and has to be prepared to be next target for the drug cartels, she is refusing to carry any type of weapons on her for safety. In my perspective I think this is really stupid of her to do. She is risking her life. What is she trying to get across by not carrying any weapons for safty? Well maybe she's trying to get the point across of weapons being a major issue to stop the violence within the borders of Mexico. This will not change anything for the drug cartels it will only get worse and they'll take advantage of her innoscenes and let loose violence. This twenty year old women is even making her police officials go door to door of peoples' homes and talk about the safty and the civic values, principles and how they could prevent crime within their communities. Now how is this going to prevent any crime? I think she's wasting her time having her police officers going door to door and talking about prevention of crime, what she needs to do is get out in the streets of Mexico and the border and come up with better tactics to end drug cartels and murders.
