Summary

This quote suggests that crime, when it occurs in a dramatic or significant manner, has the power to strengthen and solidify authority. The fear generated by criminal acts creates a sense of awe and reverence for those in power, as they are seen as protectors against these threats. By invoking fear, crime can reinforce the idea that a strong and authoritative presence is necessary to maintain order and safety within society.
