STUDY RESULTS
GIVING POOR PEOPLE MONEY REDUCES CRIME MORE THAN GIVING COPS THAT SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY
CONCLUSION
If you want to reduce crime, take care of your community’s primary needs instead of funding cops so much

Heh, you think we don’t know?

    I think you should research a topic in Slovenia specifically more deeply.

    No, you should back up your assertions with data. Assuming what you’re saying is true, though, let’s try this:

    If you have a few kids social support in slovenia is comparable to minimal wage. […] Would you work if you would get the same money if you did not?

    Then the question becomes: Why is the money they’d get if they worked minimum wage? That’s your problem right there.

    And with our prisons full, lots of crime was reduced to fines. So criminals in those communities were never punished.

    Yeah that sounds like a problem. Nothing to do with social welfare though.

    And allow yourself to put words like “dirty Gypsie” in my mounth.

    I didn’t put them in your mouth; I put them in the mouth of wherever you’re getting your information. You seem to be well-meaning, but the stereotypes you’re parroting (which, again, show up everywhere, so this isn’t something unique about Slovenia) do come from the kind of people who would be mad at dirty Gypsies for stealing their tax money.
