That's simply not true. In New York, famously they introduced a zero tolerance policy and substantially decreased the incidence of crime. I remember a time when the UK police used to make arrests of shoplifters, even attend reports of such crime. Now they don't. 30 years ago the police used to respond to reports of burglaries. Now they just issue a crime number for the insurance. Indeed virtually the only crimes it seems regularly responded to are thought crimes nowadays, which very much are the remit otherwise of totalitarian police states. -
I as a woman do choose accept any violence against myself or my family. I do believe in a race to the very bottom. It is OK to do more. We can all quote stuff but it doesn't take away the pain, fear or legacy of violence. -

No, just no. Zero tolerance does not mean we expect zero crime but that we do not accept a standard level as normal and unavoidable. For those who have suffered such “minor” crimes, myself included having had my house broken into, it is clear from the lack of action that they are considered “acceptable”’. Once small crimes become known to be ignored, it changes where and how we live.
