I ask you to ponder those words carefully. Most people would agree that an obvious application of Mr. Herschensohn's poignant observation would be the welfare system. The growth of crime is their number one reason for increasing their bureaucratic budgets and manpower. They can then use that terror to fuel their increase in power. The Law Enforcement bureaucracy grows to accommodate the increase in crime.
Arrests increase which clog our courts.
Criminals that are set free begin the cycle of crime again. Bureaucrats that maintain the prisons complain that they need more space and staff for the ever-enlarging criminal population. Local, State, and Federal Governments squeeze more money from the taxpaying, law-abiding citizens to pay for the ubiquitous growth in both the industry of crime and the bureaucracies that service and subsidize it. The taxation destroys jobs, businesses, and economic growth which further reinforces the concept that crime does pay. Short of a change in the morality and behavior of both the criminal and bureaucratic populations, no.
