What is crime though? Do you want to live somewhere where spitting on a random sidewalk in front of the wrong camera means you're banned from flying for a year? Is the fear of criminal violence greater than the fear of state violence?

Depends on the country. Among my Danish countrymen I am pretty certain most is more afraid of criminal violence.
