You don't need Ra's al Ghul to build transit, improve educative, open more small businesses and start more after school and job training programs. People turn to crime because they don't have other options. And even with those things in place, it will take decades to un-learn the behaviors people learn in a straight up survival/war zone. We have to reckon with reality and buckle down for very long periods of hard work, or it really won't improve.
