Probably yes, but also these “stop crime” ads make people more afraid and make the police state worse. Especially “see it, say it, sorted” gives me the creeps
OP is pointing out. That historically police states. (IE states where law enforcement has been given to much power).
Start by creating fear among the populace. A population with an over active idea of how common crime is. Will be more willing to support governments that control them.
But given the long history of refusal to address both violence to and harassment of women. Seems this is the one case where ensuring people pay attention and help. Can only be a good thing.

Agree fully with your examples.
