For starters, they talk about sheer demographics and the number of young men between the ages of 16 and 25. Yes, young men commit more crimes than young women, wish it was otherwise, but that's the fact of the matter.

And demographics is not an excuse to do nothing, but rather even more reason to get smart on the issue and do the effective stuff.

And yes, there will be some 'tough' on crime, but primarily simply being effective on crime. For example, if heroin clinics where addicts can register, get heroin without stealing, and shoot up in relatively safe circumstances is part of an overall package and is a substantial net positive in its own right, then so be it.

And crime is an issue where good politics is perhaps best built on good policy, maybe considerably more so than other issues.

Okay, so following their considerable majorities from the 1974 elections, how do the Democrats do it?
