Shit schools make poverty trapped children, and poverty tapped children are more willing to not care about the legality of trying to survive or gain reputation with their friends/city. And the police love locking away people.
It's a win/win. You lower the cash to schools, increase the cash to police, police catch more "Criminals", and the politicians who sold this can tout the tough on crime to the next election cycle.
Until the criminals learn to bribe police more than what politicians give them, and start buying more and more cops, and puff you are in a dictatorship ran by thugs
Wait, sorry nothing changes
And the low quality food means there is a bigger pool of low IQ aggressive high school graduates who want to join the police force.
