I'd like for conditions that lead to people not feeling the need to become criminals in the first place.

Which means, housing first, end the war on drugs, provide access to mental and physical healthcare, provide a reasonable living minimum wage and some sort of UBI for those that fall through the cracks.

Research shows that boosting income and medical coverage does not reduce crime.
