I remembered some passages from a book I read in the past that was talking about how crime will diminish in a digital economy. This time I checked Sovereign Individual first and yes it mentions that[1]. It mentions it a lot in fact.

Would it be a worthy study to find out why we don't see this in our current digital reality?

Maybe they were thinking mostly of violent crime? It has certainly decreased in the US, but also possibly I'm the rest of the world.

Some references to violent crime, economic violence, "covert violence to control resources", yeah.

I also see some points about how encryption makes criminals obsolete tho. We may have some recent examples why we have a little bit more work to do on that.
