  Agreed that the mitigating risk approach is realistic. Also that if you go after human traffickers, you'll find a narcotics connection, arms trading, and in many places, illegal wildlife trade. They're interlinked.

  To me that says that what you do to destroy the profitability of illegal drug trafficking might have some impact on human trafficking. (I suppose it's possible that they'll change their business plan, and do more human traffic and less drug traffic, so it's probably a good idea to consider those details more, but I can't so I'll leave it at that.)

  To me the obvious best way to deal with "the bulk of the vice problem" (not all, I don't think) would be to make this kind of thing a state monopoly, and then use anti-competitive practices to bankrupt "the competition". Yes, that's a horrible idea, but I think it would be a lesser evil if it ever became politically possible to do things this way.

  What do you want? Control. And you have to accept that that's only as much control as is humanly possible (or democratically possible, so there's even less). How could you have more control over the phenomenon than by running it, yourself?

  If you think of it that way, then for starters at least you're going to run things (in the details) in a less horrible way than the current management is (it's a business, but it shouldn't be). Let's take something like drugs. If the government is the dealer (privatization is a dumb idea in this context, just like privatizing your military would be, so this is how it has to be) it isn't going to measure success in terms of money profit. If sales are down this month, that's fantastic, for instance. You might do something like using the profits of drug sales to employ counsellors for new prospective users to make sure that if they go ahead, it's not some impulse, but proper informed consent. I can go on too long about this kind of detail, so I'll just stop at that.

  You'll still have the edge cases (not so much with drugs, which you could treat as something like a human right to take risks for other things you personally consider to be of value – Ode to a Nightingale stuff). Edge cases would be when it comes to government brothels, and adjacent things like pornography.

  I've heard the Danes allow their paedophiles to "register" (don't know the details, but that's the essence of it: Show Yourself) and to use paedophile pornography somehow). On the face of it, that's potentially just creating the problem? I doubt if that's often the case. Anyway, just as an extreme illustration of the kind of situation where one might just prevent a bad situation from becoming much, much worse, that's one of the kinds of action that could be added to a basic monopoly on "average vice". The obvious reason why is that at least those who come forward can be monitored. Again, it's something you'd need to run at a profit and put the profit toward things like counselling, again. Or not. I think making the government into the only opiate dealer is a no-brainer, but things like this would need things like pilot studies, research. It's just that there's quite a lot of room for trying to exert Control over these things, once you become the "dealer".

  There will be "edge cases" left that can't be managed this way, but if you keep all the people you had dealing with also the less harmful parts of the drugs or prostitution trades to now just focus in on the things that need to still be dealt with as "natural crimes" , maybe those efforts would then pay off better? I suspect that those things you find ways of just managing/ controlling (by being in control) would give you your best results, but there are always going to be those things that are just too criminal (in essence, in nature) to be able to handle that way. You can't just take over the murder industry, for instance. Or even the theft industry. You can't really Control those things. You have to wage war on them, then.

  Sounds of Freedom did a solid job of portraying the reality of the situation during the times when it was filmed. That scene has changed for the worse within the past 5 years since. There isn’t enough being done and that’s an understatement.

  Good info, Crenshaw. Domestically, I would like to see more federal law enforcement presence in these social media groups for foster kids. They post about their vulnerabilities too often and it always makes me worried for them if perverts are lurking. I probably look crazy confronting random men on that page, asking them about their intentions.
