"What to do when burglaries get out of hand? In Denmark, police think they might have the answer: Turn to the experts themselves, the housebreakers." Since all other tactics attempted by the Denmark police to lower the number of house thefts have failed, they have decided to take a new approach. Arrested burglars will have to be anonymously questioned about their methods of house theft. To be more specific, the article states "The region, which has seen a 60 percent annual surge in break-ins in some areas, will ask robbers questions about their typical targets, motives and disposal methods for stolen goods." The Denmark police are trying everything they can to diminish this increasing and re-occurring problem in their country. So far nothing has worked, but hopefully new methods will bring an end to this criminal mischief. This article connects to the poem "WHERE IS OUR HUMANITY TODAY?" by Elizabeth Padillo Olesen. The last stanza in her poem reads, "When citizens in our one world, cannot sleep in their own homes, because of the nightmares of criminality, we raise the common question,"Where is our humanity today?"." This applies to the very real and serious problem of house theft and other criminal activity taking place in Denmark. Innocent citizens have to be constantly watching out and being worried, they have no time to fully relax and rest. Hopefully these new police tactics will change that soon, the citizens of Denmark are hopeful.
