60 Minutes reported last week on 'stop snitchin'', you can watch a bit of the report, among other video clips, if you're interested. This discussion goes back to a previous post of mine... and, actually, a 30 page paper I wrote in graduate school (though the paper I wrote was specifically about immigrants and crime reporting). But really, what incentive is there to report crime? And what about for people who have no reason to trust the police will help them? Is this self-destructive, self-protective or a little bit of both?
