The thing there that the West has not been able to accept to achieve this is the surveillance state. Just look at Flock.
I'm not sure anyone has really cracked how to get it done without that part, though certainly tweaking the spending from prisons to police would help a lot. The trouble in the US at least is people (rightly) don't trust police, and don't want to give them more power, so it also needs to be paired with reform on that front for the population to accept it.
- Shog9 2mo agoBecause cameras alone do nothing useful, and there's precious little evidence these are being used to help address petty vandalism. The UK already went down this road years ago - cameras everywhere, public restrooms nowhere, prompt and automatic ticketing for parking violations but precious little in the way of assistance from humans should you need it. The shut-in dotage of a former empire too afraid to leave its house.
