hug-a-thug

Recently coined by cops and cynical criminologists, this is a police tactic where dealers are shown overwhelming evidence against them and given the choice between hard time or reform. In the areas where it's been applied, dealing and violent crimes have dropped by as much as 90%.

The cops played hug-a-thug with him and got him to go to school instead of deal.
