Future Crime Short Term V Long

Future Crime: Short Term Vs Long Term
A SF microstory

"In the future we find crime to be little problem due to our focus on the long run. The shorter term plans are easily dealt with by our long-term anti crime strategies. The more they try to force us to make gambles based on the short term to try and put us at a disadvantage use up more resources to do so and burn out after all the fewer attempts when they are thwarted, causing criminals to focus on longer and longer term planning before finally springing their plots until they finally get to a point where predicted success mathmatically ends up occuring after the end of the universe and they throw their hands up and give up on crime entirely.


Still, some keep trying. There's one impressive group with a fantastic plan to conquer all existance that seems to have a high chance of success when it's finally launched in approximately 17 times the entire length of the universe, counting on our simultanious universe-extension project to be successful. We'd be worried, but we're predicting we'll be able to come up with a counter in six to eight times the enter length of the universe." -Quote from noted participant in the Galactic Concord Anti-Crime force, year 128,003 of the standard calander.
