We don't need a study to prove that policing is effective at stopping or preventing crime. I don't actually know what you're suggesting we do instead. But until you can show me a study that shows a community with zero crime based on some "social pressure" solution I'm not listening.
- giraffe_lady 3y agoThat's certainly a... stance.... Personally I'd like to know that the force we put hundreds of billions of dollars towards every year does have an effect. Why is the burden here zero crime? Are you showing me a community that does have police and has zero crime? Our current solution is expensive and terrible, an alternative needs to be merely better not perfect. I know in advance you're not listening because you told me so, and because it's what I expect from people who are happy with the current atrocities and human rights violations we call policing.

Williams Jr. that states their study shows more police does reduce crime in an area. In looking for this I ran into a lot of statistics especially those that show crime has largely dropped since the early 90's but peoples perception of non-local crime has gone up. I blame the media.
