Because the security guards at friends' schools growing up were in charge of patrolling the halls; checking the entrances, breaking up fights, etc., etc..

No, that is the claim that is made. That incidents are down because they treat the students like 'human beings' and not 'offenders'. My point was that if the security guards are the ones who normally keep an eye out for contraband, and they're not there anymore; they could have just as many issues going on and not know about it.

I mean c'mon, in your heart of hearts, you think all the drug-dealers that attended the school read the letter sent to their parents saying 'No more security! We're hiring counselors to help your children FEEL!' and just stopped selling drugs at school?

Or do you think maybe they're doing the exact same shit, there's just nobody around to really catch them anymore?
