At a most basic level, crime is a "haves" problem, in that those that have have something to lose. The more you have, the more you stand to lose if order breaks down. In the same way the people with more buildings should pay more into a fire department, those more destabilized by potential crime should be paying to alleviate it, or better yet prevent it. Think of low income housing, and the prevention of ghettos forming as the precautionary side of a coin, and police force as the reactionary. For a city obsessed with data driven decision making, it sure feels like a bunch of fingers in ears refusing to acknowledge a truth. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/03/the-miracle-of-minneapolis/384975/ https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/03/the-mir...
