“Police do not prevent crime” is factual and not contrary to research or common sense. When was the last time you experienced cops preventing a crime? The only thing it’s contrary to is the vague idea people have that cops are probably out there preventing some crimes that are probably happening somewhere.

People have been researching this for 50 years. The copypasta you see in your instagram and Twitter feeds is not research.

It prevents crime all the time. Many people choose not to shoplift because of the threat of consequences. I would be commiting WAY more crimes if the police disappeared. Etc.
