You are right that feeling safe and being really safe are 2 different things. I appointed Holtenbroek in Zwolle for several reasons, I am well known there and the Zwolle police cheerfully announced a few years ago that they will continue with, for example, statistical (ethnic in many) profiling.
Compared to the hole where I live, there is a huge difference. Both pretending to be safe and actually being safe.
I know quite a few people who have become the victims of their criminal cunt environment they grew up in. And that’s really not because they feel “treated as criminals” by the use of the police. Police deployment is an effect, not the cause.
We need to be a little more concerned about the cause. For there is no cause, no effect. The cause is mainly a criminal cunt environment and cannot see/get/find a way out of it.
As a society we have also managed to solve the criminal shit environments called “trailer camps” from the 80s-90s. Not only by deploying more police, but also by spreading the people a bit more through society. Breaking the vicious circle of impoverishment. As a society, we have not only offered opportunities there, we have taken decisive action. Until ME platoons that regularly invaded the camps.
n=1, but I have the feeling that we have let go of the criminal shitty environments, where mainly immigrants live…. A little bit and let it boil in their juice. “It’s not their fault” “pathetic” “couldn’t get internships”.
We leave those people in the lurch as a society, because imagine that you “ethnic profiling” or take other measures that could cause a social outcry.
The fact that a well-meaning Surinamese (example in connection with a Typhoon incident) is stopped more often is not the fault of that covert society, the police, the angry white man. It is the fault of an over-represented number of Surinamese who end up in crime. I do not put the blame on the Surinamese, because it is a social problem with multiple causes.
Because by letting it go a bit, we have now managed to create quite a few ghettos in the Netherlands. Then the (local equivalent) Rova can clean up the gang on a daily basis, remove graffiti and make housing construction busy to prevent impoverishment of the homes. You can keep polishing a turd, it remains a turdI feel it could be interpreted as discriminatory in this discussion, not my intention.
I wish the children who grow up in such neighborhoods a dignified future, I wish the people who end up in such neighborhoods due to circumstances, a way out or at least a safe and good environment.
If it turns out again that an approach that gives socially skewed eyes does have a positive effect. In this case the algorithms that can ensure more efficient police deployment (because it is simply very limited). Then why not? The alternative in this case is that innocent benevolent people are the losers.
