Pay the police less. I'll explain...
The reason we're having problems with crime is because the police don't care about who's been commiting crime (going over 30 doesn't count...). There are two ways to earn money if you're thick as sh*t and are only good at beating people up: becoming a criminal, and becoming a police officer. Becoming a police officer pays much better that crime does. Therefore, if the police forces wages were cut, we'd have more police officers who actually cared their jobs, because they wouldn't have hired people that are in it for the wrong reasons. Then perhaps there might be a few more arrests of the violent yobs and thugs terrorising the innocent, and more importantly, the victims may get treated with more respect than the criminals for once.
If my opinion seems unfounded, I'll be more than happy to give a few examples; A certain police force beginning with "S" and ending with "X" have made more than enough cock-ups recently...
