what I'd say has been my most common experience of crime.
Your most common direct experience of crime. We all experience, every day, the indirect effects of a society where workers are illegally expoited, driving down wages, industrial scale fraud and tax evasion squeeze public services, and the behaviour of the super rich entrenches health and social inequalities, maintaining the existence of an underclass with poor health and economic outcomes, placing further strain on public services, and creating the conditions for the anti-social behaviour and petty crime you have described. Locking people up is expensive and makes them worse.
This bit of the post from the other page;
I recognise that there are a lot of problems with our current system, so I'm curious about what the progressive answer is to what I'd say has been my most common experience of crime.
And honestly, sure it's something that does illicit a reactionary gut response. But the question stands.
