Should be "How bitcoin prevents crime?" Here in crypto it's like those victims that lack knowledge will never get justice from scammers. No matter how clear you tracked their transactions still it is unreversable.
Could bitcoin prevent crime?
I believe Bitcoin transactions via online wallets could prevent crime. People are going to use Bitcoin for legal and illegal transactions, however criminal transactions are susceptible to crime as cash is used for the transaction...which encourages theft. If bitcoin were used for these shady transactions, perhaps with escrow, there would be no opportunity to steal currency - couldn't this prevent crime? (Aside from the original criminal transaction of course!)

Bitcoin cannot prevent crime. Like fiat currency it cannot stop crime. As a currency they just play their function as a currency and nothing more. If we talk about addresses a person can make multiple addresses and it is hard to detect who are the users and what transaction is done by the users. If the government can control all miners including all wallets generated then its easy to prevent crime.

i think bitcoin can not prevent crime, it is about the user want to do with their bitcoin, they to use for legal or illegal and we don't know what activity do when transaction is created. escrow is like a bridge between two people which want to make transaction and the escrow agents will be holder of the fund when buyer wants to buy the product. but at last, escrow agents don't know what purpose behind the transaction, the agents is only hold the fund.
I don't see anyway that Bitcoin could prevent crime. There is no stopping the illegal deeds that the people in this world wish to do. I think that Bitcoin has made it easier for criminals to work. Now they have a currency that can only see the addresses of the people participating in the trade. This makes it pretty much impossible for the police to track them down. Not many criminals want to deal with escrow so that doesn't really help. Bitcoin was created for the users to be anonymous, I guess it is good in some situations and bad in others.
It would be better to close this thread and open another, the title of the thread will likely stick in their head and you won't get the desired responds to your question
Maybe you could stop posting for your signature campaign and actually post something constructive.
Sorry, let me rephrase - not prevent crime exactly, but prevent violence during criminal transactions.
In a criminal transaction Escrow would be the safest option because if the escrow jets with the money he'll have two criminals after him, not just one!

bitcoin is not batman who can solve crimes the purpose why bitcoin is created is not for that thats why we have police/investigator to look crimes for us , we use bitcoin for currency (even if they call it commodity) online maybe if you use bitcoin for paying some people who can be hired privately then bitcoin will just help you with that.

No, if anything governments of the world are worried about the opposite that bitcoin facilitates crime by giving you a currency that cannot be confiscated and that has no policy like know your costumer so you can open a wallet anywhere there is a computer.

Bitcoin through the blockchain technology can prevent criminals by monitoring suspicious transfers of huge sums of money or Bitcoins (monies used for criminal activities) from one trade point to the other but it cannot expressly deal with their illegal business as that's the sole responsibility of the country's in which they perpetuate their crimes.
i think bitcoin can prevent crime.
if not? why do people use bitcoin.
bitcoin can prevent crime because when we use bitcoin we can make money.
so, bitcoin can prevent crime. this is my opinion.

No it won't... The escrow that you will be hiring might be the one that will screw you both in the transaction... 
Kidding... Anyway Escrows could really prevent two parties from taking advantage, but why would you still need another party to do that, isn't it that the two could inspect their products before agreeing to their terms and before paying?...

Bitcoin might prevent this kind of violence but it will never prevent crimes, actually in my opinion the anonymity somehow encourages the other kind of crimes like money laundering and other underground activities that depend on Bitcoin's anonymous transaction.
Bitcoin cant really prevent crime instead it would be used to create a crime specially on money laundering and shady illegal transactions online. Bitcoin could only prevent taxation but not illegal transactions since it being designed that way and we cant change that and people do really love to use it in any way as they want.
The most hideous crime is that, goverments control our finances. Bitcoin succesfully prevents this crime 
I dont think so, crime cannot be stopped by a currency lol. Violence is a standard form of human nature that is basically what humans are. There many illegal activities happening in dark nets and the currency they are using there is bitcoin.
it's the opposite due to the decentralized nature and thus more hard to control, it's strengthen the crime activity
but i guess future algorithm that can search very fast for some type of address that might be relatded to criminal can make this better

Not at all, even though using bitcoin does not give you 100% privacy there is still some (legal) ways to hide your identity.
For example there are some bitcoin mixers that mix your coins and there are very small chances that someone can know that it was you.
But on the other hand the governments are trying to identify every bitcoin users on exchanges, businesses etc so it's problematic.

If I have to do a crime and want to sell something illegal, I won't use escrow, I'd rather sell it directly to the person who wants to buy than to put it in the hands of escrow. Paying it directly, I'll give you the contraband but before I release the keys, send me the amount, you still have time to check the items while I am waiting for the confirmation. Usually, like what we see in movies, criminals when they have transactions with other criminal, they do it themselves without any third party.
This question should not be asked by a veteran member like you. We all know that hackers and illegal individuals have already used Bitcoin before us for years so that Bitcoin certainly encourage shady activities and illegal products. Therefore, Bitcoin can never prevent crime, it only make cyber criminal stronger

Crimes is the thing of the hearts and the only way crimes can be prevented is through reorientation of human mind. Bitcoin can only help in face to face transactions crimes, Bitcoin transactions is faceless but the decentralization nature allowed criminal minds people to transfer bitcoin from one wallet to another criminal person to use it and purchased ammunition and used against law abiding human beings.

Usage bitcoin is very dependent on users, so it is used for both legal and illegal activities it was all very dependent on its users. I think despite using escrow in bitcoin transactions can still be criminal purposes, because escrow I think only the third person in the transaction and will not ask for any such transaction. I think it is very difficult to prevent the bitcoin transaction to be used in criminal or illegal. Only bitcoin users who can prevent to use illegal transactions.
