'If you want to end crime disband police department', do you agree?

Are you crazy? What if I were to take out all the signal lights and stop signs and yield signs, etc. and just believe that we would be better drivers without them? Kind of a far fetched idea to think that everyone would be considerate and tolerable of everyone driving like maniacs without these laws and traffic signs? Not all police officers are bad and not one of us are perfect citizens! We need law and order or else it would be anarchy everywhere.

Because wihout the police there is no one to report crime too. Think about it. It's misleading. So no I do not agree, because it is not correct.

from me to you

ummmm no idiot

jeep_man129

you are incorrect... give the police the ability to do their job without such intense public scrutiny. also, put some of the responsibility back into the hands of the common man to protect his own. loosen up gun laws and allow the common man to carry a side arm the way men did in the old west. also, make it a requirement that all homes have a gun. there is a town in texas that has a city ordinance that all home owners must own a firearm... as a result, that city has had one of the lowest per capita crime rates in the country... lets all defend, support and exersize out 2nd ammendment right to have and bare arms! remember... if you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns...

This makes no sense. Shoplifters, murders, rapist are paying patronage to the police? And, if we got rid of policing, we'd get rid of violent crime? I don't think so.

No I do not agree. But yet, I guess that you knew your "opinion" would evoke anger, frustration, shock, and most of all, sympathy for you.

Start your own commune, and see how long you can live without some type of rules that need to be enforced for the common good. That's what laws are, rules needed for the common good. Are they perfect? No. Room for improvement? Yes. Would most people want to live in a society without rules/laws? I think not.

No. It's a bad idea. All the crimes commit by police are done because of political force on them. If you really want end crimes in police then disband corrupt politicians or make police an independent autonomous body like in US then see the power of police especially in India. When ever an honest police officer wants to do something good to society the politicians from local corporate level to home minister come in their way create all sorts of hurdles.

I think that you should go back to school and learn how to spell before asking about anything, however...

This is an interesting question... what would our world be like if all police would suddenly disappear?
( I will ignore the last part of the question because it is silly, "almost all crimes?" yah okay.)

We have police to help keep the peace in our society, but we as members of society are the ones that individually decide to follow the laws WE have put into place. We all saw what happened during the Rodney King riots. When people decide "en masse" to not follow the rule of law there is chaos, ten times the number of officers would not have helped the situation.

I think that if all police would suddenly disappear that a majority of people would continue to follow the rules, but it certainly would be a more dangerous and violent place to live.

If you actually believe that all crime can be stopped you need therapy. Crime doesn't happen because of the police. Crime happens everyday by all types of people. Business owners, lawyers, doctors, teachers, teens, adults, all races, all religions, all age groups. There is no way to eliminate all crime.

You are out in left field wearing a pink bra... but there is this bit of truth in your ravings... we have WAY too many stupid administrative and special interest laws in this country, including those covering victimless crime... The problem is with the legislators, not the beat cops, they only follow orders..(Like like Mi-Lai Calley). If you want to end crime, disband the legislature...

Answerer

In a word, No.

Crimes are committed for various reasons, all of which are against society norms. Patronage of the police is only there to respond to the crime or help prevent a crime, not to indorse them or help perpetrate them. It would be insane to think crime would not exist if police weren't there to protect the innocent. It would be a state of anarchy.

"experience tells us that almost all crimsare done undr patronage of police."
This makes no sense. It's like rounding up 200 people with cancer and, because they use cell phones, deciding cell phones cause cancer.

Every society has both crime and a police force, but the police is a result of crime, not a cause.

izaboe

they're actually finding that in areas where they've shifted their police model from a "crime response" to "community policing", their crime levels are drastically reduced and community approval of police goes up. i won't narrate the differences between the two models except to say that in the first they respond to a call or other tip off that a crime has ocurred or is occuring -- in the second model, there are more of them on foot (or bike or horse), in the streets at all times, communicating with persons they see and maintain a constant presence to deter crime from ever ocurring. if your interested, do a little research - - its out there.

Not exactly...........Disbanding of police department will not really serve the purpose..........What could be done is to make the judiciary proactive so that they can exercise their control over higher police authorities and keep a check over irregularities in the working of the police department.

Niecy

No. Experience does not tell us that.

tidybowl49

Your experience differs from the rest of the world.We need the police and they don't condone crime.

I would say a small %%% of crime is done under the supervison of the Police but without the Law (or Police) there would be more lawlessness....ever heard of the Wild West....I don't wanna leave there....GIVE ME the Police with the small amount of the take...I am Ok with that.

OK, for starters, the police will NEVER make society crimeless, no matter how hard they try. Secondly, the mission of the police is to serve and to protect -- with the hope that maintaining law and order will be a beneficial side effect. Finally, your last statement is totally unfounded and unsupported. Show me some proof that almost all crimes are done under the patronage of the police. I consider that a slap in the face considering the fact that my uncle is a Captain with the Michigan State Police and my father was an officer with the Redford Police Reserve for over 10 years -- are you trying to tell me that my uncle and my father are somehow crooked and actually abetted criminals, even though they both have long-standing reputatitions in the civic community of being above reproach?

No, if you want to reduce crime then enforce the law to its fullest extent and punish criminals instead of trying to rehabilitate them (which has been proven in countless studies to be an exercise in futility). And STOP blaming the police -- we all know that there are crooked cops out there, but they make up well less than 5% of those that wear the uniform and the badge. While we're on the subject of ending crime, how about starting by giving the police the respect they deserve?

Just Some Guy

Interesting extrapolation.

But wait! Think about it... most crimes are also commited within the earth's atmosphere. The solution is obvious... colonize mars.

Might want to check with your local community college and see if they offer entry level logic classes.
