+## **Can law stop crime ?**
 
+Based on what we’ve discussed about laws and crimes, how can law truly prevent crime? If you consider that many laws are created by governments in ways that practically encourage people to break them—thus turning them into criminals—then stopping crime becomes impossible. And the reason is simple: laws are not always designed to prevent crime, but often to create it.
 
+Crime exists only because laws exist. Since states control the entire process—from drafting laws to enforcing them and delivering judgments—and as more and more laws restrict individual freedoms, laws are more likely to increase crime than reduce it. In fact, laws are designed to punish crime, not to prevent it.
+
+There are several examples of laws that remain in force but are not actively enforced or punished by states. This clearly shows that governments apply laws selectively, using them when it serves their interests rather than upholding them consistently or neutrally. Here are a few examples:
+
+- Tax Evasion by the Wealthy (Global)
+
+In many countries, tax laws are strict on paper, but enforcement is weak when it comes to large corporations or ultra-wealthy individuals. For instance, multinational corporations often use legal loopholes or tax havens—techniques that would lead to prosecution for average citizens, but are rarely punished at the top levels.
+
+- Police Brutality Laws (United States)
+
+While excessive use of force by law enforcement is illegal, prosecution of police officers for misconduct is rare, even when there is strong evidence. This selective application of the law undermines trust in legal neutrality.
+
+- Environmental Protection Laws (Brazil)
+
+Despite laws against illegal deforestation in the Amazon, enforcement is often lacking. Powerful agricultural interests are rarely held accountable, showing how laws can be ignored when they conflict with economic or political goals.
+
+- Anti-Corruption Laws (Russia, parts of Africa and Latin America)
+
+Many countries have anti-corruption laws on the books, but high-ranking officials are rarely investigated or prosecuted. Enforcement tends to target political opponents or low-level figures, not those in power.
+
+Based on this, it's clear that the system is rigged, and that crime is often used as a tool by states rather than something they genuinely aim to eliminate.

+*Interesting reading: Peter Kropotkin, In his essay Law and Authority, Kropotkin critiques the legal system, stating: "Law has no title to the respect of men.". He argues that laws are tools used by ruling classes to maintain power, rather than instruments of justice.*
