Isn’t that kind of how it works? Safety is a “no broken windows” problem. People who commit crimes need to be caught and punished at a very high rate. This basically requires surveillance, no?

Surveillance doesn’t guarantee safety. But what is the counter proposal on how to turn a large, unsafe location into a safe one?

I expect downvotes for this. But seriously. What do you propose? Is surveillance not exactly how countries like the UK and Singapore provide safety? Can anyone cite an example of a “safety turnaround” not based on surveillance?

Believe you me I wish that weren’t the case! Someone show me the alternative, please!
