I think you are on the right track Jim. It isn't that there aren't good rules out there, it is more about the system of enforcing them and dealing with those convicted is broken.
Police get stuck with their time being devoted to whatever task force or enforcement blitz local politicians think will best help their re-election efforts. Elected officials even going as far as only releasing funding to departments and barracks are enforcing those chosen tasks.
Then, after the police get the time to actually do their jobs other than just the politically popular parts, we have no real rehabilitation system. Prisons have become a for profit industry and the people running them honestly have no obligation or motivation to fix what we can all see is broken.
