also, have the police caught any of the people responsible for all of these recent attacks?

I believe the police have been successful in arresting many people committing violent acts. A few carjackers were caught in the last couple months as well as some people involved in a string of robberies. The police can only do so much after a violent attack. If all you have to go on is a description then you will never have enough evidence to catch someone.
Perhaps when someone who is known to use meth is caught committing a crime they should have a mandatory 3 month sentence. This way you can ensure they obtain sobriety. From there the individual returns to society with a sober mind and ability to make their own decisions. A probationary period after release of weekly addictions meeting that take attendance would be required by the court to ensure they are continuing on a sober path. If they miss meetings it needs to be a breach of probation which would require more jail time.
