But like I said implementing a number of crime prevention and control measures provides a holistic approach. We just have to get tax payers to understand that these prevention measures are not free. Even holding individuals accountable through punishment and advancing family values and morality aren't free initiatives.

No, what works isn't a matter of choice. Societal attitude toward crime is, however.
Regardless of increased tax revenue, government action will never solve America's crime problem. I hope you don't think the awareness of taxpayers is the biggest obstacle to advances in this arena.
