> Are we so drowning in crime

Not only are we not drowning in it, virtually all crime is at historic lows. The world has never been safer, the problem is every bad thing now is reported on every major news feed and shot across every social media algorithm. People have paradoxically never been safer, and never been more terrified.

And none of this is helped at all by greaseball politicians who use fear of the Other to line their pockets and increase their power.
