Good article.
It's clear that of the 4 major parties, only really the Greens grasp the underlying causes of crime, and are pushing for treating the cause rather than bandaid solutions for the symptoms.
Exactly, it's like trying to put out fire with a hammer it just isn't going to work
I think it's more like taking cough medicine to control a chronic chest infection, but ignoring the damp moldy home, the sedentary lifestyle and the smoking. If you treat the symptom the problem will persist.
Unfortunately, they only need to look like they're doing something for about 1y to get the votes.
