You for president! Outline your anti-crime plan.

Execute all people who: spit on the ground, cut their toenails in public, leave raw chicken ANYWHERE.
We would then use their corpses as a source of water.
also repeal the 3rd amendment and have military soldiers sit in at family dinners next to grandma.
replicate juvenile delinquency intervention programs that work (i.e. nurse home visitation, multisystems family therapy, life skills training). throw out ones that don't (i.e. boot camps, D.A.R.E., Scared Straight, etc). more gun control policy; less "war on crime." legalize marijuana. get rid of three-strikes laws, especially in california. start prosecuting prison rape cases. outlaw the death penalty, everywhere. stop waiving juvenile cases to adult court.
... i could go on, but these are the basics
1) legalize marijuana
2) universal mental health care
3) end the Iraq war, and use the money to pay for health care and education
@centro, stranger, and renazzle -- I think those things along with the "make sure everyone has enough to eat and a place to live" plan would probably eliminate damn near ALL crime.

My plan is the "Make sure people have enough to eat and a place to live" plan. If people aren't hungry and cold they tend not to want to shoot you for your stuff. Okay, this doesn't eliminate all crime, but I'm sure it would elimate one hell of alot.
