My thoughts exactly. Grandparents had an apple tree that hung over the neighbors yard and dropped apples, which rotted and fermented. The neighbor’s donkey would eat them up all the time and get blitzed off his ass.

I kind of see this in the same vein as Christians saying, “How can you be moral without a belief in God?” I don’t believe it’s a presence of a deterrent that prevents it but a security in your environment or person that is the cause.

Sure there is always going to be people that take advantage of other: theft, rape, violence, murder. But these things haven’t been lost with the presence of police. In fact most studies offer solutions that involve enhancing/improving social and community structures without involving policing or an increase.
