Freedom will always lead to more crime. If we want freedom, we will have to accept crime.
Also just because something is not visible, it does not mean it’s not there. China for example appears to have no homelessness, but that is simply untrue. It has a major problem, but makes sure the majority of people and tourists don’t get to see it. Singapur may not in fact have a drug problem, but if that is due to the radical approach of criminilisation or due to broad wealth of most inhabitants cannot be seen from outside.
Also all studies show that harsh punishments are actually detrimental to battling criminal behaviour.

Why not just shoot everyone who ever thought the word “weed” in the head? That’ll clearly improve society. Then your kid can finally kickflip their scooter at 30mph and kill an elderly person in peace.
