Too much crime? Toughen up policing.
Tough policing results in abuses? Prosecute the police.

Less policing? Crime increases.

What we need are ways to get tough on crime that don't result in high levels of collateral damage. And, we need the community to recognize that the police are trying to make a difference without harming the non-criminals. Today we can't have those nice things.
