I agree! But even with the best education and social support, a small minority will still turn to victimizing others, and no progress is possible until they are neutralized.
- brnt 3y agoI think getting it down to a small minority would already be great progress! Not sure getting it down to zero is the right or primary goal though. It sounds like an excellent way to require ever larger budgets and fund some pork machine. Let's first get it down, then worry about going to zero. Has anyone ever managed zero? At what cost?

Crime follows a power law distribution, a tiny sliver of the population is responsible for the vast majority of crime. (The size of the sliver varies, in some places it is 0.1% while in others it reaches 2%, but the vast majority are law-abiding always.)
