Police: "just make crime go away" (rather than work to address the systemic imbalances in the system that cause it.

I hope you don't actually think that's the source of crime. It's a big one but far from the only one. Dahmer didn't kidnap and eat people because of a systemic imbalance for example.

True, though haven't studies shown that it is the major one, currently? So if the goal were to reduce even if not eliminate all crime, it might be a great place to start.
