Some scholars note that it costs money to implement social welfare, and it costs money to maintain social order, but many countries choose the preventative (the former) rather than choose the curative (the latter), because the latter has less chance of success.
有學者指出，辦社會福利要錢，維持社會秩序也要錢，但很多國家寧願選擇預防（前者），而不願選擇治療（後者），因為後者成功的機會不大。
