And yet top of the list of what people seem to want is increased police prescnce?
This is a societal problem. It’s akin to people fare evading or vaping on trains - if they see police they won’t do it, but that’s essentially it. If people think they can get away with something it seems they will, so unless they constantly feel watched we can’t fix this with surveillance / enforcement. And that doesn’t seem like a good solution.
Segregation has also been suggested before for this specific issue and I completely understand the pushback there, for multiple reasons. So that’s not going to cut it either.
People need to understand right and wrong, and seemingly many do not.

I don’t know how to fix that.
this article says the people are not catching and punishing so there’s no feedback mechanism for these people to potentially learn from
So perhaps a sudden increase in presence, make an example out of a few people and hope others learn?
I dunno if I’d trust the police to manage that, but I do see the potential.
