When you are a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Of course a career prosecutor would see a ‘crime problem’ as a result of insufficient prosecution.

Crime is complex, but largely related to poverty and economic opportunity. The interventions that are likely to matter most are so far outside this person’s perspective, that they are unable to see how modest judicial reform is merely the nearest corner of the iceberg.

Or, someone looking to get into hammer manufacturing might try to convince everybody else that everything is a nail.
