The old ways of controlling people are going to need an update. Once upon a time violence was a sufficient tool to inhibit or dissuade criminal activity. The new paradigm is that you cannot use violence and your knowledge of criminal activity to dissuade actions, instead one must remove the desire to perform them in the first place.
IMO this looks like:
- Stop bombing/attacking/interfering in Islamic nations.
- End the most grievous forms of poverty world (such as lack of opportunity) such that increasing numbers of people have nothing or little to gain by being criminal
- Stop utilizing violence as a protected means, only allowed by some (ie the government). By universally outlawing violence, it becomes morally clear that no amount is valid.

Conversely there situations which basically leave little other choice than the use of violence (extreme poverty or abuse for example). Therefore by removing the sources of those things, we can stem much use of violence.
