Yes the police, and justice, are to act as a deterrent to crime, moreso than "respond before a crime happened"
I highly suspect that the respect for the law has dropped, and with ideas of defunding the police, there's probably less resources as well.
This is what was asked for.
- vb6sp6 5y agoIs there data to suggest any of this?
- drekipus 5y agoData to suggest that the law is meant as a deterrent or data to suggest my suspicions? (Edit: because I don't think "data" can help you in either of these situations)
- AnimalMuppet 5y agoEither way. Data. (It's not data only if it supports one side. Either it's data no matter which side it supports, or it's not data.)
- vb6sp6 5y agoData suggests that murders aren't affected by deterrents like the death penalty: https://www.amnestyusa.org/a-clear-scientific-consensus-that-the-death-penalty-does-not-deter/ https://www.amnestyusa.org/a-clear-scientific-consensus-that... To claim that murders are up because people don't "respect" police seems absurd to me.
