>>483616stick and carrot policingCurrently policing is entirely based on punishment, there are no rewards. That's not an effective incentive mechanism. I propose we keep traditional punitive policing for the hard crimes like murder, assault, kidnapping, blackmail and so on. But flip the script for the rest.
We introduce reward-detectives that try to find examples of exceptionally ethical-conduct and dole out rewards. They will have to investigate very thoroughly and prove said ethical-conduct with as much rigor as would be required for establishing guilt.
Now here comes the kicker, people don't agree on a single definition of "ethical-conduct" and now they don't have to. We'll do multiple reward-polices that reward according to different ethical-norms. That creates a culture of venerating role-models instead of hunting witches.
