Having adequate law enforcement training and funding, is not mutually exclusive with leveraging technology for more effective enforcement. In fact that's where some of the funding goes. I would be interested in seeing some data reflecting a reduction in crime as a result of increasing the welfare system, as you claim.

- IlikeKitties 1y agoI mean compared to corporate written Wikipedia articles from privacy invading dystopian nightmare companies the evidence that welfare reduces crime is so obvious that even a quick google search drowns one in 3rd party validate studies: https://academic.oup.com/qje/article-abstract/137/4/2263/6581195 https://academic.oup.com/qje/article-abstract/137/4/2263/658... https://news.uchicago.edu/does-welfare-reduce-crime https://news.uchicago.edu/does-welfare-reduce-crime https://law.yale.edu/sites/default/files/documents/pdf/Intellectual_Life/FoleyCrimeFeb08_(2).pdf https://law.yale.edu/sites/default/files/documents/pdf/Intel... https://pp.ethz.ch/news/2025/03/higher-welfare-payments-reduce-refugee-crime.html https://pp.ethz.ch/news/2025/03/higher-welfare-payments-redu... And probably a gazillion more But again, by the time we did all the non privacy invading stuff that doesn't target me as a law abiding citizen the discussion about these devices becomes moot because crime isn't that much of a problem anymore.
