Paying more for policing doesn’t stop or reduce crime

An analysis of trends over the last 20 years in Canada could not find any correlation between increases in municipal police budgets and a reduction in crime rates. There’s another way forward.

#Saanich is going to face a lot of necessary scrutiny after they recently increased their #PoliceBudgets & these motherfuckers bought #CADALLICS with our #PublicTax #PublicTaxpayers monies.

Tell me how that shit is OK.

Hello, fellow #Canadians - am wondering if some of you can help me compile a list of links to #PeerReviewed studies about how increasing #PoliceBudgets doesn't reduce crimes nor benefits the communities & the people they're supposed to serve.

I'm experiencing municipal govt folks trying to say they need increase their police budgets because BC government is offloading health crisis stuff to police. It's weak. It's more deflection of accountability. Both govts point fingers at each other.
