Shock therapy not enough

What the people really hope to see is a consistent crackdown on crime instead of a shock therapy, says an article in Wuhan Evening News. The following is an excerpt:

In recent days, the police in Chongqing have launched the largest campaign in the past 25 years to crack down on crime. Within 80 days, the police has cracked 32,771 criminal cases and arrested 9,512 suspects.

The large number of cases and suspects demonstrated the success of the campaign, but also frightened the local residents. People have found that so many criminal cases and suspects had existed before the crackdown.
