How to use "More law-abiding" in context?
The week following the big Righetti robbery and shootout, some in the law enforcement community were calling for a decrease in arrests. The theory is that if officers are met with less resistance, they may feel less pulled into dangerous, high-stress situations.
This sentiment is becoming more and more popular, with many law enforcement officers in Phoenix and other big cities saying they feel they are constantly in danger and that they are not getting the backing they need to do their job safely.
Critics of this theory say that we cannot expect officers to restrain themselves if the public does not also practice restraint.
