So many communities are experiencing unbridled crime.
Kids are engaging in this too easily.
While I don't know what is the solution, I have this model for the problem:
1. A sense of a personal moral bearing keeps you in check
-- When that isn't in place--
2. A fear that your community or family will abandon you
-- When that isn't in place--
3. The Law
We're at the level of The Law for many.
We need to solve the problem all the way back to #1.
Besides personal antidotes, can you show any legitimate statistics that show that crime is increasing?
In cities all across America, crime is decreasing.

It depends upon which crime and the influence that crime has on society.
The smash-and-grab and random attacks are impacting my city and state. It might be due to the fluidity of news, but it is effecting my society.

What's interesting is that the category of Burglary is historically low. But, the smash-and-grab incidents are causing people to fear going to downtown San Francisco. We're getting a bad reputation around the world. A month ago I even heard tourist in Copenhagen talking about us.
