    A lot of research supports the idea that putting more money into resources that improve people’s lives, like health care, housing and education, can reduce crime. The more nebulous question is how removing police funding might affect public safety:https://abcn.ws/37RwGEp

        It’s not “removing” funding, it’s redirecting funding that’s currently going toward police (that shouldn’t be) and putting it toward other uses. For example, police should not be responsible for dealing with people who have drug addictions, rehab centers should be.

        Wait we have not been putting enough money into those communities? Guess what else reduces crime in areas. It’s an abundance of JOBS! Poverty can lead to crime in regions. To reduce poverty we need our economy moving again now.

        But we also need an education system that is better than this nonsense of get the test scores for money. We don’t teach basic life skills in school anymore. Interviewing, credit cards & ratings, proper job etiquette. None of that is taught anymore.

        Police spend 4% of their time dealing with violent crimes.

        like everything is context. Instead of talking money, why not talk about what the police should be doing, what they need to do their jobs and what other resources are important to make the community safe.

        Unfortunately you can spend tax dollars on things like this, but there’s always going to be people that just don’t give a f_#k. The whole system needs to be reworked.

        Just try it in our large cities. I sure the research will prove that it will work.
