Countries where the citizens are well-educated and healthy have less crime, and with greater technology (including medicine), people are going to become smarter and healthier than ever before, so while I'll probably get criticized for saying something so utopian, I'll say it anyway:

I think that the singularity will lead to all crime ending this century, within a few decades, and obviously, the sooner that all crime ends, the better it will be for everyone and everything.

If post-scarcity for all is achieved it follows that property crime essentially disappears. Crimes surrounding personhood and consent are trickier but post-singularity all bets are off. In a society where everyone's needs are met as a basic standard what would even motivate crime? If something generally acknowledged to be truly heinous was genuinely desired by someone wouldn't they just simulate it? Would a post-scarcity society even produce individuals who desired to commit criminal acts?

Boredom (not everyone can be entertained by no-consequences-whatsoever VR) and the lack of means to do something positively meaningful.

We are already seeing this. As long as people have a phone in their hands they feel contentment.

Education is a big topic
