"No. That's wrong. I KNOW BETTER. Your study and report are just incorrect. YOU made a mistake because your results don't conform with my preconceived beliefs."
It’s not they know better, they THINK it’s wrong so it is, it FEELS wrong so it is. The facts don’t care about your feeling crowd is always up in their feels, snowflakes.
Politicians don't want less crime. They want to get re-elected. And we always choose a "tough on crime" guy over a "soft on crime" guy.
Because we watch a lot of cop shows. They make our lizard brain think we're surrounded by crimes happening constantly when most of us aren't really. And the lizard brain takes charge at the ballot box.
States with more welfare, means their citizens are more civil in the first place which translates into less agressive behaviour. Social welfare may caused them to be more civil as you said. But also it is possible that their civil status may caused increased welfare and not vice versa.
You’re discounting the large portion of society that just hates poor people and wants them all dead. The PRIMARY purpose of AI and AI powered robots is to be able to completely replace unskilled and semi-skilled labor with robots and then simply get rid of the people who previously did those jobs. Like it’s not a secret.
Giving the same amount per person? Or the same amount of funding to a program? Cause per person doesn't make sense. There's much more poor people than cops

Yup. There's also a lot of people who react with:
"No. That's wrong. I KNOW BETTER. Your study and report are just incorrect. YOU made a mistake because your results don't conform with my preconceived beliefs."
