What now?
Good article here on the root causes of violent crime, and to jump right in, let’s do two pull-quotes. First up:
If throwing money at police and prisons made us safer, we would probably already be the safest country in the history of the world.

And if someone is talking about how tough they are and how scared you should be, they care more about keeping you scared than keeping you safe.
Hard to argue with that as an American.
