Denver DUI Defense Attorney Sparks Controversy with Crime Rates Article
Mar 9, 2018
The Law Offices of Matthew J. Greife released a controversial article titled "Crime Rates in Colorado and Denver" which discusses possible misinformation regarding crime rates data in Denver.
Denver, United States - March 8, 2018 /PressCable/ —
The Law Offices of Matthew J. Greife has released a potentially controversial article “Crime Rates in Colorado and Denver”, bringing some cause for concern, as the article may upset those who are trying to use increased crime rates to incite fear in the public and to justify increasingly harsher punishments in the justice system.
The 1,300 words article examines the high points and low points of supposed increasing crime rates in Colorado, specifically Denver, as written about in a recent Denver Post article, in the pursuit of providing a differing perspective on the article and data presented by the Denver Post and providing reassurance to the public as to the reality concerning crime rates in Denver and Colorado for private citizens. In typical manner though, a certain element of the article is set to spark discontent amongst journalists, mainstream judges, prosecutors, police departments and officers, and policymakers.
Below is a portion of the piece, which neatly exemplifies the controversial element:
Mark Twain once said that those who read the newspaper are not necessarily un-informed but mis-informed. Recently, the Denver Post re-published an article talking about increasing crime rates in Colorado generally and pointed out most of the increases occurred in Denver (Mitchell, 2017). On its face the Denver Post’s article is true but unfortunately incredibly misleading. In this blog post I will point out the flaws in the Denver Post’s article and hopefully give readers a better understanding of what crime rates actually reflect and that they should be interpreted with care and skepticism especially since Denver really is one of the safest cities of its size in the entire country (US News, 2017).
A spokesperson for The Law Offices of Matthew J. Greife, Matthew J. Greife, says “Of course The Law Offices of Matthew J. Greife never sets out to intentionally upset anybody. The aim of our article is first and foremost to give our readers a fair analysis of the data presented by the Denver Post and point out the flaws in the data that are used to mislead private citizens. It is critical, however, that we stay dedicated to our true voice.
Although our “Crime Rates in Colorado and Denver” might unsettle those who are trying to use increased crime rates to incite fear in the public, our duty is to our readers. We believe it’s more important to tell the truth, present the facts, and keep our readers informed, than to please everyone. Which is notoriously difficult to do.”
Although there has been no backlash as of yet, the possibility exists as the article suggests that lawmakers, judges, and prosecutors use misleading facts to promote their agenda of increasing the harshness of punishments for crimes.
The Law Offices of Matthew J. Greife has been a provider of in depth articles in the DUI Law / Law and Legal market for over a year.
