Crime is the bet

In just two short weeks the Sands Hotel Casino in Bethlehem, PA open. Bethlehem is a special place in my heart, is the home of my Alma Mater Lehigh University.

While the experts is a study that states have produced no significant change in the crime be connected to the casino, says the story is a different story.

The study for the Casino in Bethlehem was from G. Patrick Gallagher, president of a consulting group that the review of police policies, survey conductedeight police authorities across the country to respond to calls from the casino slots. Gallagher included Bensalem Township Police, the Philadelphia Park Casino and Racetrack in Bucks County is.

The biggest problem I see with the study is that it does not take into account the pre-existing conditions.

In the late 80's I worked and worked in the security sector and drink alcohol in a beer distributor. After the collapse of BethlehemSteel has been extremely depressed area. The only activity was the eight universities in the area, which used to educate engineers for the steel company. Crime, drugs and unemployment was everywhere. It was a very hard and has received in recent years, is getting worse.

In the study, is a track and casino sites in Bucks County PA. A rural municipality and soothes away from any big city.

Las Vegas is another success story. Economically, however. In the middle of the desert,Crime is something. Most people visit Las Vegas and Bucks County are not just people who are a day trip. Overnight at the resort offers a higher class of clients.

In 1976, Atlantic City, an area already depressed as the Bethlehem, PA Las Vegas looked like a model of success. Unfortunately it did not happen. The proximity to Philadelphia and New York, a destination for all types of criminals have created. Atlantic City now enjoys a violent crime rate that is 2.57Time the national average and a rate of theft and theft, which is almost 3.5 times the national average.

Bethlehem, PA is almost the same distance from New York and Philadelphia.

What will happen to my Alma Mater? One can only assume that the college kids are going to secure the joint casino and become food for predators. Of course, a child is losing his shirt at the tables ... only if he is lucky.
