Note that last sentence well. It's easy to claim that the reduction in crime was due to Zero Tolerance, but if you're going to put a large number of extra Police on the streets, that, in itself, will have an effect!!

It does not say that zero tolerance dosn't work does it? All it implies is that there may be other factors that can play a part in
some cases.
