Camden, New Jersey, had a serious problem with crimes, especially violent and drug crimes. Part of the problem was the lack of police officers due to budget cuts, which eventually resulted in nonresponse to 911 calls and a lag in crime investigations. In May 2013, Camden officials responded by disbanding the city's entire police department. This unprecedented step allowed Camden County to hire a completely new force without the restrictions of the previous department's police union labor contract. As a result, per officer costs were cut in half, and the city was eventually able to nearly double its number of police officers. Law enforcement officials also increased the use of crime-fighting technology and trained the new officers to be more involved in the community. By the summer of
2014, even though the city's murder rate was still considerably higher than the national average, shootings were down 43 percent and overall violent crime was down 22 percent from two years earlier. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of affirmative action? A. For most of the nation's history, women and minorities suffered from widespread discrimination in policing. Affirmative action remedies these past wrongs. B. The existence of a diverse police force improves community-police relations and makes it easier for all officers to do their jobs. C. Affirmative action works. D. There are no "special skills" unique to women or minority law enforcement agents.
