Exactly correct. After spending 30 years in Quality Management where our task really is problem solving there are great tools that can be used to figure out such an issue. Cause and Effect diagrams look at the elements of a process. Make no mistake, committing a crime is a process. The elements are: Manpower, Methods, Machines, Materials, and Environment. Each of these elements will have several components. We then perform a FMEA, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis which statistically identifies where to begin to put in measures of control. Keep in mind that there would also have to be a balance of Cost/Benefit analysis as well as Constitutional Rights.
We should all be concerned when Majority Rules wants to dominate Minority Rights.
