CraigsList Killer Has Palouse Fallout
Item: CraigsList Killer affects prostitution on the Palouse/David Johnson, Lewiston Tribune
More Info: Moscow Assistant Police Chief David Duke and Pullman Police Commander Chris Tennant confirmed that their departments are fully aware of the local Craigslist entries and that prostitution, at some minimal level, may be behind the entries. But so far, said the two, neither department has taken any active action. "We talked to the prosecutor about setting up some kind of stings on it," Duke said, "but currently we haven't proceeded with it." "To be honest with you," added Tennant, "we live in a university town and most people give it away for free. There isn't a market."
Question: Should police departments -- even in small towns like Moscow and Pullman -- crack down on prostitution? Or do you consider prostitution a high-priority crime?
