I would bet essentially any amount of money that this will not be the case.
The risks of fascism will be greatly amplified, but the risks of crime will remain the same, with only a few minor changes to which crimes are committed, to whom, and how.

I suspect that a large part of this is that Amazon has (according to Wikipedia) more than 300 warehouses.
If this is correct, then it would not be surprising if a few warehouses are outliers even if the overall figures are reasonable. After all, randomness (both in terms of overall luck, and the distribution of shitty managers) will end up skewing a few of the results very high or very low.
