In the U.S., the police are a big part of the problem. They
should not be pursuing people in most cases, anyway. They should
be unarmed, and largely on the ground, on foot and bikes.

It started last year. Walgreens is closing five locations in the
Bay area, specifically - and very publicly - because of the rampant
theft that is actively encouraged by the city government. A Safway
has announced more limited hours because of the organized theft
gangs. Businesses have been fleeing California for years now, and
the population is now officially declined for the first time since
records have been kept.
Elections have consequences.
And I'm still inclined to believe that these consequences are
*exactly* what is intended by the powers that be. To drive out the
middle class, incarcerate anyone left to use as slave labor, and
reserve California for the obscenely wealthy and their indentured
servants.

Criminality is not rampant in the U.S.
What Americans have done is wall themselves off in most cities from the majority of the violent crime. However, if the crime-ridden neighbourhood people's antics
began spilling out in a major way to the middle and upper-class areas, things would change rapidly.
"Crime-ridden neighborhoods" are largely a myth. Part of the fear that
the right uses to manipulate their credulous base.

That may well be true, but given that there are a lot of days in a year,
and a lot of years in a lifetime, and the consequences of being a victim of >crime can be catastrophic, merely "unlikely" is not really adequate.

So dozens of people shot every weekend in places like Chicago is just a myth?
I recall an analysis somebody did for South Central L.A. some years
back (when the crime rates were actually higher than today). The news portrayed this area as if bullets were flying everywhere. But the
analysis suggested that only a few percent of people would experience
a violent crime in a lifetime of living there.
