Eradicating the Saggy Pants Syndrome in America

By Lawrence V. Bolar

Eradicating the Saggy Pants Syndrome in America Now is forged to empower the minds of each reader to make an intelligent decision regarding this style of dress. I sincerely believe once each reader has had the opportunity to review the literature this behavior will be discouraged and soon discontinued. The overall demure is to bring closure to this fashion frenzy that has lasted over two decades in America.
The research will enfold that the behavior was encouraged by both female and male students. It is my opinion that male peers encouraged one another through modeling this ridiculous behavior. It is further supported that females consistently provide verbal praise and encouragement to young men to the degree that they felt empowered to continue this fashion imprudence.

Interview:

Vanessa R. Crawford, Sheriff

Petersburg Sheriff’s Office City of Petersburg, Virginia

In an effort of taking a grass roots approach to the saggy pants epidemic the decision was made to solicit a primary resource. The purpose of the primary resource is to provide valid data from a reliable and credible source in the field of law enforcement.
