Is this the effect that we’re better aware of fraud and the like or is it that society is increasingly failing to prosecute crime? I feel as though we’re in a strange spiral where criminality is increasingly forgiven even in cases it shouldn’t be due to the ineptitude of government. I’ve talked to many, many people who are of the view that society is no longer just, not because of undue prosecution, but because of no prosecution.

I’ll admit, I was swayed by the arguments of certain protests a couple years ago, but it seems like a deeper law/order reaction is brewing after the downstream effects of the policies and attitudes have come into play.
