Here is a letter to editor that I have wanted to write for quite some time and finally did tonight. If you read this post regularly I am concerned about how we do not learn from history. With the recent escalation of violence in Milwaukee we can learn some lessons from the past. In fact I wrote about Crisis Intervention Team (CIP) training in an essay Essay on Violence in Milwaukee in 2008.

Dear Editor
We could learn from the past how to stem the violence in Milwaukee. Near the end of his term and after building many new prisons, Governor Tommy Thompson asked a special committee to look at the root cause for prisoners and prisons. They reported back, and according to MJS article, prisoners and prisons “are bound to grow as long as the root cause of crime—poverty, lack of education and lack of family support—go unaddressed.” Politicians did not listen and prisoners and prisons increase.

President Nixon was elected with a “law and order” mandate. He launched a “War on Drugs” but also a very successful treatment program for drug addicts. With the emphasis on treatment crime went down but after his reelection and Watergate the successful drug treatment program was forgotten and the “War on Drugs” led to more crime and drugs.

When Memphis saw an increase in police shootings and arrests of persons with mental illness they created a Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) which was effective. Our former police chief’s goal was for all police to have this 40 hour training. However, the present police chief, according to MJS, as kept police trained with CIT training to around 20%. Police shootings and arrests of persons with mental illness has increased.

There are many more lessons from the past that we can implement to decrease violence in the city, if only we could learn from history.
