During special periods, special measures would be used to raise people's awareness in certain areas.
For example, when people needed to realize that the cost of crime was increasing, the Federal Government would allow some brutal law-enforcement operations to proceed.
It would also impose the maximum possible sentences, warning people not to commit crimes: the cost was high, and the consequences were severe.
There had been many such periods throughout history. For example, when the federal reservations had just been established, the government had told the indigenous people that venturing outside the reservations was life-threatening.
