An
advertisement to report crime
Rewards
to whom gives a tip to resolve crimes are long time practices in the
USA, may be since hundred years ago. Prizes in form of financial
ranges from hundred bucks to million dollars, depend on seriousness
of a crime.
Some
people believed that rewards could lead to “crack” unresolved
crimes. However, historically, prizes less helped police to convict
suspects. As an example that 15 rewards only of 372 rewards provided
by Los Angeles city council lead to solve crimes from 2008 to 2013.
Some even “harm” on going investigations.
Some
countries such as Canada, crime stoppers program effective more than
report unresolved crimes rewards. In my city where I am living now,
there are both reward to report the possibility future crimes and to
provide tips to unresolved crimes.
When
I visited Walmart shopping center couple days ago, I found
advertisements from my city council to urge people to involve in
helping government law enforcement officers to solve crimes in the
city. The city provides rewards around US$5 thousand dollars.
How
about with your states or and countries?
We don't have a reward program but the Gardai (police) do ask the public for any info on accidents or crimes to come forward and share the info with them.

We don't have it here but I suppose rewards will encourage more people to report crime.

We used to be very distrustful with this kind of practice, here in France - a painful reminder of the Collaboration during World War 2, I guess-. But since the terrorist attacks, thinks have changed and such calls to testimonies or information have been seen on TV and on the social networks. I think that this is just a beginning in a society where people feel more and more unsafe. Have a nice Sunday!
