It's been replaced by what I call the police-judicial complex. As real crime has massively dropped over the years (demographics, as much as anything else), well, it wouldn't do to lay off a proportionate number of police, judges and their support staff, now, would it? Especially with the press' "if it bleeds, it leads", plus of course there always being high crime hot spots messing up with the public's perception of crime.
