Reduce wealth and income inequality somehow. There's been no research on UBI reducing crime afaik and honestly I don't know that it would work for that. People need to feel like they are doing valuable work.
Cops on foot patrol in neighborhoods NOT to punish anyone but literally just to get to know the community and make eye contact.
Access to training and education to promote moving into higher income and responsibility jobs.
Mental health support (although people won't want help as long as they are Fighting against the system)
There need to be healthy, organic, non-crime non-drug non-gang groups for people to be part of. I don't know what is are into these days. Basketball? Dancing on Tiktok? Anything social.
You can also get executed for having weed.
Is a place truly safe if you can be executed for having weed?
IIRC Singapore has a very specific and controlling demographic control system? Like regions have to have demographic breakdowns that approximate the national numbers or something?
There are a bunch of social engineering things you can do to reduce crime. But good luck trying to tell Americans where they can and can't move. Probably easier to just tax the super rich.
