I agree, and think there are many facets of degeneration that lead
people to disrespect the law and see justice as something they must
provision for themselves; Surveillance cameras and drones instead of
police in the streets. Algorithms and predictive policing instead of
presence - ears to the ground and forward intelligence. Procedural and
summary justice in place of juries and deliberation. Police who are
uneducated in, and frequently break the law. Delegation to untrusted
private power without democratic mandate...
All of these things give people a sense they have been abandoned by a
derelict state and must meet violence with violence, power with power.
That's profitable for an "insecurity industry" that thrives on fear,
but devastating to societal wellbeing.
