Narrative:

Our aircraft was level at 5000 ft when ATC advised traffic at 11 O'clock position at 4500 ft maneuvering. We acquired visual contact and a TA then RA as the cessna 172 turned toward us in a steep turn maneuver. We first got an RA descent then an RA climb as the cessna continued to change altitude and heading. This mco class B should protect this airspace. This is about the 4TH or 5TH near miss on arrival to sfb for our airline in the last couple of months. This is a safety concern that will not go away until VFR traffic is restr from approaching the arrival corridor. (176 degree radial omn.)
