I would not want to live in a world where crime has been made infeasible. It may sound counter productive, but crime at basic level is a way to protest or exercise freedoms in the face of possible unjust laws (of course barring obvious victim crime, I am not endorsing legitimate crime).

Unfortunately crime is a natural part of living in a world where people are human and have free will. Could technology ever reach the point where crime is nonexistent? Possibly, but I wouldn't want me or my descendants to live in that world. It would only mean that free will has been taken away, people are no longer free, and people are no longer human. No thank you. We may be a long way from such a world, but when every place we ever go is recorded, when every purchase we make is logged, and every source of media we take in is saved in a database we are on our way. Neuralink is hoping to put in brain chips next year. People had better decide if they want to remain free people or not before it is too late.
They sure can help but they come with their own set of problems.
Check out 'The Capture' on Peacock for a very interesting 6 episode story about a near future where cameras are ubiquitous in public places.
It's a bit repetitious at first but heats up as one is made aware of the possible consequences that develop within the framework of mass hi tech law enforcement. It has a great ending to boot.
We've had cameras on most streets, establishments, to include bodycams and vehicles and crimes continually surge throughout every community.
Oddly enough our capacities to listen, record, view and document most any occurence globally should reduce crime 100% however we are missing entire planes coupled with small & large groups of people, property, emails and presidential taxes.
As some new invention starts as a luxury, then a convenience, and finally a necessity, people forget how to live without it. Like many other luxuries, surveillance cameras are limited by the rising costs of electricity and materials in electronics, and fragility of the aging electric grid.
Also I wonder if we should have live cameras in school classrooms?
If schools did, they still wouldn't be able to show it to parents, as it's also recording everyone else's children.
So it'd be for internal monitoring purposes only. Even so, I don't think I'd be comfortable having my kid recorded 7 hours per day, every weekday, for her entire childhood...it's creepy.

This could add to a much larger problem. Parents prefer their children go uncorrected by adults (known & unknown).
Parents oddly worried about their children recorded on camera at older ages yet plead for them throughout younger years..
Unbeknownst to you, you're recorded more often than not.
What's creepier are naive parents with mystical children behaving brilliantly 100% of the time- all the time.
They can catch all the criminals they want but there has to be a change in this country that actually holds people responsible for their poor criminal behavior. Someone mentioned the rioters, and it seems that when they are caught they are quickly released and back on the streets the next night.
When it comes to criminals they are usually stupid and their crimes are opportunistic so they never even consider that they might be caught in the act on camera. Many of them don't care because they figure nothing will happen to them.
