Which sentence would work better as a thesis statement for a three-to-five-page

Question

Which sentence would work better as a thesis statement for a three-to-five-page college paper? Remember that a thesis should be a central idea that requires supporting evidence; it should be of adequate scope for essay's length; and it should be sharply focused.

A law enforcement program known as "community policing" has had significant success in deterring criminal activity in downtown Greenville.

B "Community policing" is a law enforcement program used in many municipalities across the country.

Explanation / Answer

Ofcourse both sentences work good, I personally prefer statement A.

Law enforcement program known as community policing has had a significant success in deterring criminal activity in downtown Greenville.

This statement is more focused, and has a good and reasonable scope to describe on in the essay. We can talk about the community policing first. Then, how thoeritically it deters the criminal activities in general. And we can talk about the Greenville history, and the implementation of community policing in Greenville. The date it was implemented in Greenville. And the criminal activities happened before the enforcement of the program and after the enforcement. We can compare the statistics, as a supportive statement. And how good and effective it worked over a period of time. Later we can conclude on some exceptions that need to be discussed.
