Eindhoven Mayor: Citizens Not Involved In Fight against Criminality

Eindhoven mayor, Jorritsma, tried last year to involve citizens in the battle against criminality.  He now admits that this has failed.  He pointed out that one of the reasons is the increase of neighborhood ‘kings’ i.e., people who dominate neighborhoods and have the most impressive car, but don’t have any registered income.  These people apparently are allowed to do anything and act with impunity.
