February 8, 2012 by ·
If you're a parent, you may have found the headlines recently to be more than you can bear. It seems as if every day, we're subjected to a new, horrible story where young, innocent children are killed by predatory criminals.

In Florida, Jared Harrell admitted to killing seven year old Somer Thompson, as well as molesting other area children, in exchange … [Read more...]
Cambridge: Home Security in an Era of Diminishing Public Trust
January 30, 2012 by ·
It is the tendency of every generation to romanticize the years that came before. We like to think of our childhood days as innocent and pure - or at least purer than they are now. I don't know about you, but when I was younger, I had at least a measure of faith in our public officials. If someone was going to steal or deal drugs, it wouldn't be a city employee. These days, I guess you can't take anything for granted. It's discouraging, isn't it? We count on our government to provide … [Read more...]

Quincy Carjacking: Is Scituate Responsible For Rising Crime Rates?
January 16, 2012 by ·
If you read the comments in this Patriot Ledger story, you'll see that many people want to lay the blame for apparently rising crime rates in Quincy on residents of Scituate. Is that reaction warranted? It's a common human trait when something bad happens - whether it's a car jacking, home invasion, or burglary - to try to find someone to blame. It's better if those someones we identify as bad people live far away. After all, no one wants to live next door to a criminal. But the truth is … [Read more...]
Boston Business Security: The Need Is Greater Than Ever
January 8, 2012 by ·
Have you noticed all the construction? There's a building boom in Boston, according to recent stories in the Boston Globe and Herald. Biotechnology companies are growing rapidly, and these firms need office space. This is great news from an economic perspective.
