Glen,

Practical.  Practice.   I had men working in Gary, Ind. who were robbed at lunch time. Mexicans, robbed by Blacks.  The robbers told the Mexicans if they told the police, they would come back and kill them. As we had an obligation to finish the contract, we did the right thing. We shut up and went back to work.

That is practical.  The police couldn't reasonably be expected to protect the men and neither could I their employer.  Neither could the power company we were working for do anything to protect them.  They had to protect themselves.

Obviously, work assignments like this in Gary, Ind. have to be temporary.  Who would want to move in and live there permanently? 

 The answer to all this is the 'shine' girl's answer. "Me? I am a good child"
Until and unless the robbers repent and reform, their town (fellow man and woman) will suffer under their exploitation.  There are no institutional solutions, apart from the institution of the family.
