One idea I have is completely overhauling how we approach crime like giving criminals a reason to take the way out of crime.

Crime is directly related to not necessarily poverty, but income inequality. So in a given area where class contradictions are intensified, there will be more crime.
Also note that correlation is not causation. One theory regarding causation is that this is the fallout of COINTELPRO, when the CIA and local police had disrupted revolutionary movements to prevent unification against capitalism, through provoking infighting and promoting drug abuse.
In other words, crime is artificially increased to create a lower class, and contradictions within the proletariat are exacerbated to prevent unity.
The other day, my buddy (who barely make more than minimum wage at a graveyard) was ranting on about how the people on welfare across the street are just on fucking welfare, taking from society and not giving nothing back.
Here we had a guy below the poverty line, angry at the other dude below the poverty line, telling me these damn libs caused it. Absolutely insane how he can be all angry about the few million we put into welfare in here in canada, when billions are wasted on keeping him poor.
If money was seconds, 1000$ would be a little over 15 minutes. 1 million dollars would be about 11 days. 1 billion dollars would be almost 32 YEARS! People are easily tricked and don’t understand the values at play, drive me insane. They should be angry at the rich and income inequality.
They’re willing to spend millions and billions to do this because it’s not their money, it’s yours.
It’s taxpayer money used to create the reserve labour force, while capitalists benefit from it.
