3. Police do not prevent crime.
4. Funding for education, mental health, drug treatment, housing, youth programs, and other social programs reduces crime.

Mayor of Nanaimo comes out in favour of eugenics.
"It does save lives, but saving those lives for what purpose?" asked Nanaimo Mayor Leonard Krog during a city council debate about overdose prevention sites and the province's approach to harm reduction in the toxic drug crisis on Monday night.
Nanaimo city council votes down proposed drug policy letter – The Discourse.
At the Dec. 1 Nanaimo City Council meeting, a motion to send a letter to the province asking it to reexamine its approach to "the ongoing addiction crisis" was voted down.
