@nprofile1q... The best crime prevention programs begin at birth.
Parenting support. Adequate housing. Livable wages. Access to good nutrition. Clean air, water, & soil. Healthcare including mental health & dental. Education.
It's been shown to be far less expensive than a prison industrial complex or a criminal "justice" system.
Punitive policies breed better qualified & experienced criminals & manufactures more traumatized victims.
Punishment is very profitable to The Moneyed. Only.
