[Charles] Logan [in "Crime Stories"] notes, it is commonly claimed that "increasing freedom brings with it increasing crime. Liberals respond with proposals that would decrease economic freedom: conservatives respond with proposals that would decrease social freedom." Both types of proposals tend to involve more government and less liberty. But in reality, crime is likely to decrease through greater emphasis on the tenets of individual liberty, because there is a "corollary of freedom: individual responsibility." Thus in contrast to widely held beliefs, reductions in liberty (limits on people's ability to use private property in the pursuit of happiness while recognizing an obligation to respect others' private property) are associated with increased crime, because both reflect the same attitudes toward property rights (Benson, 1996, p. 98).

this is a nice sentiment, but responsibility is what is required by liberty, not what is created by liberty. At least, that must be shown, it can't just be assumed.
