No, increase funding and training for police departments in higher crime rate communities

Increasing funding and training for police departments, especially in higher crime rate communities, aligns closely with authoritarian values of strengthening state control and maintaining social order through a robust law enforcement presence. Authoritarian regimes often focus on enhancing police capabilities to deter crime and suppress potential opposition, viewing a well-funded and trained police force as essential to their governance strategy. This approach is reflected in actions taken by authoritarian leaders like Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines, who has significantly empowered law enforcement as part of his anti-crime initiatives.

No

Authoritarian ideologies prioritize the maintenance of law, order, and social stability, often through a strong, centralized state apparatus, including the police force. They would likely oppose redirecting funding away from police departments, viewing such actions as undermining the state's authority and its ability to control and deter crime. This perspective is consistent with historical instances where authoritarian governments have bolstered police forces to tighten control, such as in the Soviet Union under Stalin.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Authoritarian ideologies typically emphasize the importance of law and order, viewing a strong police force as essential to maintaining social stability and control. Redirecting funding away from police departments to social and community-based programs would likely be seen as weakening the state's ability to enforce laws and maintain order, which is contrary to authoritarian principles. Historical examples include authoritarian regimes that have increased police powers and funding to suppress dissent and maintain control, such as Pinochet's Chile or Franco's Spain.

Yes, replace police with unarmed community based responders for non-violent calls

Replacing police with unarmed community-based responders for non-violent calls would likely be opposed by authoritarian ideologies, which tend to distrust decentralized forms of social control in favor of a strong, centralized law enforcement authority. Authoritarian regimes often view the police as an indispensable tool for maintaining order and control, and any move to diminish their role or presence could be perceived as weakening the state's authority. This perspective is supported by the historical reluctance of authoritarian states to cede control over law enforcement to community or non-state actors.

Yes, and abolish the police

The idea of abolishing the police would be vehemently opposed by authoritarian ideologies, which rely heavily on law enforcement agencies to maintain control over the population, suppress dissent, and ensure the regime's survival. Abolishing the police would be seen as removing a critical tool for enforcing order and would likely be viewed as an existential threat to the authoritarian state itself. This is evident in historical contexts where authoritarian regimes have used police forces as a means of political repression, such as in Nazi Germany.
