The problem in our individualistic society is that no one is willing to say "That guy is a psycho/pervert/freak and needs to be watched like a hawk." Instead it's "you do you!" Evil walks among us and we can't deny it even if the media doesn't want us to think about it. They want us to think of this like a bad tornado, just something that happens.[/quote]

There isn’t enough of a mechanism to do something with these people. The people who do these crimes typically are not normal people who recently slipped into problems. Most of them have life long antisocial and troubling behaviors. [/quote]

Mental hospitals.
And don't say "But Reagan" because [b]he caved to a lobby that started in the 60s with the idiotic "One flew over the cuckoos nest" that fooled people into thinking every free spirit was in danger of forced electroshock therapy[/b] to turn them into Don Draper. Why he caved I don't know, it was before my time. But it's been a rotten failure.[/quote]

This is correct.

The movement was called “de-institutionalization” and it quite effectively closed-down virtually every in-patient mental health facility in existence at the time (the so-called “insane asylums.”

Problem was:  they replaced the much-needed mental health services with:  nothing.  Or virtually nothing.

They simply put the severely mentally ill people out on the street, or they dumped them on ill-equipped family (who then turned the patient out, onto the street).

Why does everyone wonder why we have so many severely-mentally-ill people living on our streets?

Sure: reform was needed by the 60s, but reform did kit happen.  Shuttering and elimination happened.

[b]Bring back in-patient hospitals, like they still have in the rest of the developed world.[/b][/quote]

My Japanese BIL couldn't believe the army of homeless screaming and flailing in my city. "In my country they would be in the hospital."
Me (explaining)
Him "But if the government won't pay then their families could pool their money and pay. Anything to get them in a hospital."
Me "You don't understand. There is no hospital."[/quote]
