  Scared straight is highly effective PR. Hood looking young people getting yelled at by scary men? Possibly crying? It's like schadenfreude for "civilized" society. I don't understand how policy leaders can look at hard numbers and say, "fuck it, let's keep funding it."

You need to listen to the right expert. And you need to know what an expert is going to advise you before he advises you. - The Thick Of It
