Do you think that a police force helps deter crime?

I think a police force encourages crime. Laws encourge crime. Before we had all these cops, there was a lot less crime. People knew that if you messed with the wrong person you could end up dead or worse. Made a criminal stop and think be he/she done some dirt. Now-a-days they know what the punishment will be and decide that it is worth the risk because they know that the worst that can happen is that they will have to spend some time with thier buds behind bars for awhile.

Criminals don't fear the cops, ordinary citizens fear cops. Seems topsy turvy to me.
