> This country needs to crack down on crime swiftly and harshly until order returns

Please provide the data that shows this approach will work.

This has been tried for decades in every city across the world and it has been shown over and over again that simply being "tougher on crime" does not work.

What seems to work is a multi-faceted approach targeting root causes like inequality, drug use, homelessness as well as better policing.
