Absolutely. Theft is the outcome. It's also getting worse.
Work your way back up the chain, though, and you'll see that worsening correlates heavily with the adoption of these privatized "training programs."
Capitalism is the best system we have, in my opinion--and it's predicated on "reasonable freedom in the pursuit of profit."
I personally don't think it's reasonable to for that profit to come from public/municipal funds directed to "training programs" with a demonstrable connection to a systemic increase in civil rights abuses.
