Like in London, you could have surveillance cameras everywhere. But add guns on them as well to prevent/limit crime.

Do you really think people would feel safer? What happens if there are bugs or security holes in the system?

And, even if we assume the system is perfect, would you want to live in such a place?

Yep... and all those CCTV cameras are doing wonders in London right?

Technology can't solve all problems; crime is a social problem.

Whatever the reason, it still happens. So we need a solution. Technology can at least give us a short-term solution. Maybe later we will have better ways to deal with mental illness for example.
