If we focus on crime rate only would you invest more resources to stop that 1 crime or would you invest the resources to stop the 1000 crimes?

Are you asking me what I would personally do? That sounds like a false dichotomy.

Or are you asking in what scenario more resources would be used to address the crime? It’d be absolutely more resources to stop the 1000 crimes, but relatively more resources to stop the 1 crime (per capita).
