It's also driven by greed quite often, people wanting easy money.
You will always need law enforcement.
What causes greed in society? How do you prevent people constantly striving for "easy money"?
Could we perhaps change the current economic system which encourages mass hoarding of wealth by a small percentage of the population and desperation and crime for many others?
Something to think about.
I'm sure the UK police will get right on that.
Police Scotland at least, do take a more sociological approach to policing, yes. It's not perfect, and they're not pushing for a change in economic system, but they do push for a different approach to policing compared with most forces around the world. Allowing safe drug consumption buildings, for example. Tackling the causes rather than the symptoms of crime. Working in tandem with social services. Prevention instead of reaction.
Very clever of you! I'm proud of you for using your brain today, learning and thinking about something instead of just jumping straight to your preconceived ideas of crime and punishment in an attempt to "win" a pointless internet argument. Well done! Have a star ⭐
