Let's say I'm comparing a theory that has been tried and never worked (even though it seems possible at first), with an observation that has been proved (although it sounds impossible in the societies we currently live in).
My conclusion is that there are causes for crime - usualy social. Police suppression focuses on the effects. Societies that have been violentless (in which for example there has never been any reported homicides or rapes) have done the opposite. They focused on ethics - being fair to each other.
That's why I consider the police a sad excuse for crime fighting.
From there on you can make your own conclusions. You may see this as utter bulshit but honestly I couldn't care less.
