There are very few stories that haven't been told, in one form or another.

The skeptical libertarian thinks we have too many prisons and not enough cops.

Quote:
The US and EU both spend about 1.2% of GDP on police and prisons, but while the EU spends about 5 to 1 in favor of police, the US spends just 1.5 to 1.
As a share of GDP, the EU spends 33% more than the US on police and 60% less on prisons.
In the US, the ratio has shifted significantly over time to favor more prison. Prior to the late 1970s, when incarceration rates started to take off around the country, the US consistently spent about 3 to 1 on police.
Comparing individual US states and EU members shows that the averages aren’t being skewed by outliers. Only one US state had a higher police-to-prison ratio than any European country.

We'd have to convince our police to be more like public servants and less paramilitary. Is that even possible?
