The belief that all crime increases during the holidays is a myth; however, according to Dr. Janet Lauritsen, there are two crimes that spike in December: "What I see is a December increase in only two types of crime, where the rate's a little bit higher than the average monthly rate, and that's for robbery and personal larceny—which are the crime types that police warnings concern." Could it be that folks just want to give their kids a good Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa? Most likely these women weren't going to use these hoverboards themselves. In this case out of New Jersey, the alleged robber paid a hefty price for trying to steal a bag of money -- a slug directly in his chest. Fortunately, there were no injuries to either of the security officers. -- IFPO.
