My observation is that walls work very well indeed.

At an early age I went to Auckland zoo and saw that even great big animals like elephants, lions, polar bears, rhinoceros, hippopotamus, giraffe, monkeys and chimps could be kept away from people with walls. The chimps were quite agile and cunning like jihadists and Mexicans so bars and wire were also needed to keep them contained.

In Israel the chimps trying to get in to attack are also very vicious and love to do head hacking so walls and fences are not enough. Armed sentries provide enforcement.

In China I observed that the first thing to be built in a new development is a wall to keep people out. China has a LOT of walls. I notice that they come to live in NZ and like walls here too.

Walls and high fences have become common in NZ over the decades. Crime has increased even faster.

People are like chimps = they like free stuff. Many of them will steal stuff even if it is owned by somebody else. Walls and sentries keep the free loaders at bay. Look around you and you will see walls and fences. I bet you have some of your own.
