It works on a hyperlocal level, but on as whole city it's a zero-sum game.
- ars 5y agoThat's not true. You are assuming there is a base level of crime that just gets pushed to other places. But if you discourage crime then it just doesn't exist anymore.
- goodpoint 5y agoNo, countless sociological studies proven that if people are in poverty and have no access to jobs and healthcare many will resort to crime. And it does not disappear into thin air if you increase lightning or set up fences and so on.
