again, I'm not talking about arrest or punishment.

I'm talking about prevention. Like "don't walk at night in this area alone".

That rule is as a result of bad things happening while walking alone at night.

I know what you’re talking about, I just don’t think you realize how such things become rules. We very rarely, if ever, create preventative rules, and when we do the rules are terrible because we don’t know the issue well enough.
