    The govt’s job is not to prevent crime from happening, that’s dystopian-tier stuff. Their job is to determine what the law is, and apply consequences to people after they are caught breaking it.

    The job of preventing crime from happening in the first place mainly belongs to lower-level community institutions, starting with parents and teachers.
