They aren't investigating the crime.southsound said:
#1: If anyone is investigating it, chances are it's probably a state issue, not a city issue.
#2: They don't have jack, and if they do, they can't do anything with it. It's all about politics and whatever you define the home life as
. By releasing the statements they scare people into not doing it. If by chance they do actually have names, then they might call up the families involved and put down a bit of pressure, but in reality anyone with half a brain won't face charges. That doesn't stop the actual call from coming though. Nor does it stop the idiots who believe they are screwed and basically turn themselves in. (Doesn't cost much to actually do this part, relatively speaking)#3: Again, politics. Someone dies, no one cares, unless they are high up. Someone gets caught having sex (legally or illegally) and it can be exploited, the public eat it up. If the mass public (anywhere, because a similar situation could easily rise up anywhere, and often do) eats it up, that's what makes the news, adn that's whats targeted. The more the public eats it up, the more money there is to be made by the media and the government. One day they're holding up a sign saying "Give us money so we can hunt the killer" and getting money for it, but that's run dry. Now that people are focusing on this subject they hold up a sign saying "Gives us money so we can hunt the prostitutes" (Using their words, not mine) and the public forks over the money. Because of that, businesses fork over money or face being shunned for not being the good guy. Government wins and life goes on as normal.

Really, if you're going to even discuss this subject you should have a deeper understanding of how the real world works. I don't mean to be insulting, but it's precisely comments like the one I quoted that cause people to panic or get frustrated over the wrong thing.
Actually I suppose the comment really doesn't matter here at all given the location of the subject matter, but hey, still ticks me off seeing it.
You'd be surprised how much money a government actually makes. A lot of it isn't even wasted on corruption like a lot of people think. Sure you got people skimming off the top, but think about it, I have yet to find a form of government that can't legally rip off the people. In the US, for example, Senators can lobby to have a pay raise, and it's generally put through with no argument because the only deciding factor is other Senators who want their pay raise passed next time. Scratch my back and I'll scratch yours. The other big money waster is simply wholesale decisions. When you deal with numbers that a typical government deals with, you don't see the real savings. You can buy service A which will get the job done a few million dollars cheaper, but service A does a poor job or requires maintenance fees which aren't factored into initial costs. Service B would have cost more, but wouldn't have required half the overhead. So you're left with a 100,000 bill from Service A which costs you an extra 25,000 a year for 25 years, instead of Service B's price of 200,000 with an extra 1,000 a year for 25 years. (Now replace Service A and Service B with the millions of products and services utilized by a government, and you got a lot of waste)
Edit: Probably hard to understand most of this post. Got distracted and lost my train of thought a few times, and now it'd take a few days and a essay paper to explain everything.
