I wouldn't be surprised if we're all judged by our childrens children for our ongoing unwillingness to readdress our judgmental, hypocritical and borderline pseudo masochistic attitude towards poverty, social issues and their symptoms.

Pretty much.
With what we know about the etiology of crime, particularly how disruptions in the maternal environment results in adult dysfunction, if we committed significant resources to provide safe, nurturing environments for our children for two or three generations, I think we would see a significant drop in crime in about 20 years.
But of course, that would mean less money in our pockets and people are extremely creative at finding reasons why they should keep their money.
