So what happens in high crime areas then?

The short version is the resources taken away from police forces are rolled into social services instead, who have a *much* better track record of reducing crime by, y'know, actually rehabilitating people so that they're not in situations where they feel like crime is a solution to their problems. Mental health counselling and decent paying job training can do wonders for a "high crime area"

EDIT: And for the criminals who are just absolutely menaces who cannot be helped? That's why you keep *some* police. Society needs more healers than guardians. especially guardians who use their authority abusively.
