The author, Calese Crowder, who earned his nickname for his disturbing habit of sniffing out women at the famous bookstore chain, has been arrested several times. However, each arrest is followed by a release, allowing him to return to his disturbing habits again and again. This repetitive cycle has raised critical questions about the effectiveness and priorities of the criminal justice system.
The victim, Michaela Witter, stated: “I’m relieved he’s been re-arrested, but unfortunately I don’t have high hopes that he’ll be held there for long.”
This leniency towards the “sniffer” is puzzling to many. This raises concerns about the safety of people, especially women, visiting public places such as bookstores. Critics argue that the continued releases show a lack of respect for the emotional and psychological well-being of victims.
Legal experts suggest the “catch and release” approach is an outgrowth of recent reforms aimed at reducing the prison population and preventing incarceration for minor crimes. However, the recurring nature of the Barnes & Noble Sniffer’s behavior underscores the need for a less soft approach to crime.
