> Policing does barely anything. Putting one hard criminal in prison only opens up a power vacuum that 10 more people step up to want to fill.

Unless the entire gang gets wiped, which they can do, but they dont.

> Interviews with some of these young criminals (borderline child soldiers at this point) show that they do not expect to live past 20-25, so they really don't care.

Thats an issue, because they will never say that if they stayed in their countries (pre-war).
