Exhibit A for supporters of the new policing is New York City, where major crime--murder, rape, robbery, auto theft, grand larceny, assault and burglary--is in something like statistical free fall, dropping 17.5% last year. Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and his police commissioner, William Bratton, both insist that the reason is their devotion to new ways of doing police business. John DiIulio Jr., a professor of politics and public affairs at Princeton University, says that since the mid-'80s top brass who embrace a similar shift in philosophy have risen to key positions in cities all around the country...
...cops and residents works not only in big cities: Taylor, Texas, about 28 miles northeast of Austin, has just 13,300 people. But no place is too small for the drug trade.

Cases don't come any harder than Poncelet's. His drifting life reaches its nadir when, with another man, he commits a lovers' lane rape and double murder, steadfastly (and unpersuasively) insisting that he did not commit the killings.

It is largely the latter quality, and the challenging seductiveness of his manner, that leads Sister Helen to see in him the possibilities of redemption...
Navy Seaman Marcus Gill told a Japanese courtroom that he did not force two Marines to join an attack on a 12-year-old Japanese schoolgirl. Gill, accused along with Roderico Harp and Kendrick Ledet of rape, said that Harp and Ledet were the ones who jumped out of their rented car and grabbed the girl. The two Marines insist that they participated in the assault only because they were afraid of Gill. The three face a maximum penalty of life in prison if convicted. A verdict and sentence are expected January 19, but that could be delayed...
