Which of the following is NOT a method of problem solving mentioned?

  1. Eliminating the problem

  2. Adding more problems

  3. Reducing the seriousness of the incidents

  4. Removing the problem from police responsibility

The correct answer is: Adding more problems

Adding more problems is not a method of problem solving mentioned. It does not address the initial problem and can actually make it worse by introducing new issues to the situation. The other options are all valid methods of problem solving mentioned, such as eliminating the problem at its source, reducing its seriousness through intervention, and shifting responsibility away from the police and towards alternative solutions.
