Careful, you're dangerously close to sounding like a republican. :)
Policies may or may not "fix" a culture but they can certainly "enable" a culture. Like when Chicago increased how much you could steal from a store before it's considered a felony....all that did was cause people to steal more from the stores since they could go higher in dollar amount.
This problem has one of two outcomes:
1) Businesses cut their losses and close their stores (which is what we're seeing)
2) The cities take action on crime (no comment)
