What methods work for reducing crime?
gpt
This question is framed too broadly. What kind of crime? Crime is a big umbrella term for all sorts of behavior that emerges from different motivations and circumstances. Are we talking violent crime, property crime, drug use, white collar crime, juvenile delinquency, or what? Also, what's your time scale for reducing crime? Do you want to make a neighborhood safer immediately? Or are we looking for a long-term reduction in crime (say 10-20 years down the road)? Narrowing it down a little will help people give you better answers.
