One of the few benefits of an authoritarian regime… usually they’re great at reducing crime.

Of course it’s not the only way. While replicated almost no where else, Japan avoids crime while not being authoritarian. Group think becomes cultural identity, which has its own issues, but crime isn’t one of them.
