I’m talking about our city planning, infrastructure, education system, police, healthcare system, job market, labor law, corporate culture, the monetary incentives corporations have, etc.
It’s all set up in such a way to produce terrible results. This country extracts from the poor and gives to the rich, it keeps people impoverished. It overpolices marginalized groups. It keeps people infirmed.
Some of it is intentional, some of it is apathy. But the end result is that crime rates soar. People generally don’t commit crimes when they’re well educated, well payed, healthy, etc. We should be doing everything in our power to effect the above systems to produce better results and therefore less crime rate.
Crime doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is absolutely within our power to minimize it.
In not talking about anything small like that.
