Dictatorship is very good at combating crime if it's under good hands (which itself is a tall order imo), just look at Singapore, the problem with dictatorship is the lack of accountability and 99% of dictators simply suck at governing hence democracy is usually better since most dictators have a severe case of Dunning–Kruger effect. People like Bukele and Lee Kuan Yew are very few and far between.

- jjav 3y ago> If crime goes down, they are 'good' dictators. Crime nearly always goes down with dictators, that's not a good metric. The question is how many completely innocent people have their lives ruined or lost in the process.
- wolverine876 3y ago> Crime nearly always goes down with dictators Wow, I am pretty well informed and I've never seen that. Do you have evidence of it?
