Crime And Culture In Wichita-KS
-
2/12/2013
I moved here about 2.5 years ago due to my job, and it certainly is amazing to find out how high the crime rate in Wichita-KS is as compared to other cities. I live in an upper-middle class neighborhood, but during the past year, my neighbor's truck got stolen, some thieves have tried to break into my house. Some did break into my neighbor's garage and stole items from his vehicle. There have been several other breakin-instances during this time.
I was told that the reasons of all these crimes are: Firstly, the people are not very well educated, many are druggies, and worst thing is that there are no severe penalties for these crimes. Most of these criminals are out on bail/loose waiting months to go to courts and during that time they stay busing earning their "livelihood" without getting caught harming the community.
It's a pity that the many people I come across have not travelled or lived outside of Kansas, & they really think Wichita has very low crime rate. It amazes me that general public really thinks that way! A wise man once said, "The doorstep to the temple of wisdom is a knowledge of our own ignorance."
Add to the wrong, Wichita people in general are also discriminatory towards blacks or other minorities.
