Qasim Rashid, Esq.A quick reminder that law enforcement *responds* to crime, but a living wage, food and water security, accessible healthcare, and public education *prevent* crime.
If you want safer communities, invest in people, not punishments.

@QasimRashid @jasonpeacock but the criminal system produces wealth for legal professionals, prison owners/shareholders, politicians, etc.
Sustainment and even expansion of criminal systems has nothing to do with the criminal, the victim, or even justice. It’s all about generating wealth for the legal and political classes.
Crime reduction would cause wealth reduction to those in power and so cannot be pursued.
tyen@SuperTeece @QasimRashid @jasonpeacock I think it has something to do with generating wealth by perpetuating an underclass to keep wages low which is crazy given wealth is generated by the educated middle classes now but bad habits are hard to break.
