As things get out of hand in your city, crime will increase, and that happens when there’s a shortage of goods and the population increases. While it will be a natural addition to your gameplay as time goes on, there are ways to reduce crime in Frostpunk 2 – here are a few effective ways.

To lower crime, you need surveillance in your Expanded Housing District and you can add that by building Prisons and Watchtowers. Go to the Idea tree, go to the Society tab and unlock Watchtowers first.

There is Surveillance Watchtower, Patrol Watchtower and Watchtower that can help you combat growing criminal activities. Then there is Thought-Correction Prison, Punitive Prison and Isolation Prison that can be unlocked.

By focusing on solving the shortage of goods, you can significantly reduce crime. This can be done by ensuring that more industrial districts are working on the production of goods. Expanding these industrial districts will give you a better output of goods that will be useful when you are running low.
