Interesting. Can you, Salyavin, provide the links to the press releases you say the TMO is now sending out claiming credit for the reduction in crime in New York? I know how you like to be scientific about everything, so I am sure you would not say this unless you had some evidence that it is indeed so. Indeed, you yourself say you can "absolutely guarantee” it. So I’m looking forward to seeing those links you will post for us!

I had a raam note once, it cost me ten bucks and the missus threw it away because she thought it was joke money. OK she was right, but it cost a lot and had a nice picture on it. I thought it made a nice memento. However, I think the movement should keep quiet about their role in this apparent calmness as it actually contradicts the claimed Marshy Effect. If it took 7000 to lower the crime rate 20% in Washington in 1993 (not that I believe it) then how many have been meditating in New York to get a 54% reduction? Erm, none it would seem. So the Marshy Effect either isn't reliable enough to be tested or is hopelessly inadequate compared to whatever is going on now. But I can absolutely guarantee they are sending out PR's claiming that the lower crime is all down to them. We would have been!

After the Big Apple’s 12-day run without killings, experts struggle to find the reason for a trend repeated across the nation "Although there was an attempted murder in Queens on Friday that left a man on life-support, New York has enjoyed an almost unprecedented 12-day streak without a homicide. While crime statistics are difficult to interpret – violent crimes such as rape and assault have not reduced so markedly – the trend overall is repeated across the US. From its peak in 1991, violent crime is down 51%; property crime 4% lower; and murder down 54%. During that same time, incarceration nearly doubled. The US prison population now stands at 2.4 million – up 800% since 1980 – or roughly a quarter of the world’s total. The cost? About $80bn a year. The overall cost of the US criminal justice system is placed at $240bn, or about half of the federal deficit. But according to What Caused the Crime Decline?, a study published last week by the Brennan centre for justice at New York University school of law, there is no definitive link between falling crime and mass incarceration." I'd like to see the daily press releases the TMO are sending out about this, doesn't look like they are reaching a sympathetic audience though.... New York’s streets are suddenly safer.
