Yes, wherever possible; but, increase funding and training for police departments in higher crime rate communities.
@9PF66DZ5mos5MO
No, funding for police departments and for social and community based programs should both be increased
@8PBXF7B4yrs4Y
Funding should be increased for both
@9MDM22F6mos6MO
Social and community based programs should have their budget increased, but that shouldn’t come from the police.
@8SMYX6Q4yrs4Y
@9F58ZK41yr1Y
I think we should fund social- and community-based programmes, but also fund the police appropriately. There must be a happy medium. It's horses for courses!
@9DKQS9H1yr1Y
No. The funding for social and community programs should be increased in any case
@9Z9JVRC2wks2W
Yes, some funding should be redirected to community programmes that provide education, community and key groups for young people at risk of offending and groups for non-violent offenders to try reduce crime at the source.
