“The reason we have crime at all is society allows it.”
That’s what bothers me the most. We elect pols that allow it. The pols cave in to usually bogus claims of “police brutality” by minorities. Police are defunded. There is no southern border and the drugs flow in freely. People will do anything to get the money for their next fix. So the copper disappears and nobody is sent to jail.
Your explanation of how Florida solved the problem offers some hope, but we need tough pols and police like that all over the nation. Without that, complete collapse is coming.

Exactly. Singapore has none of these problems.
