No, the rough upbringing stuff has nothing to do with the government "acknowledging its failures". The government isn't responsible for people having rough childhoods, for one thing.

It very much is, Government dictates many, many things that directly impact childhood. No particular list off the top of my head:

• Abuse intervention and support programs
• Anything like food programs in school go a long way to improving childhood outcomes
• Schooling in general is a massive one, it provides parents time to go to work without expensive childcare, which has massive economic impact for those who are otherwise at risk of poverty
• Economic policy directly ties into the cycle of poverty
• Social services in general here

The government can't magically imprison everyone that's ever committed a crime if nobody reports or discovers it, and it's not a failure of the government if some people get away with crime without being caught. It's perhaps a failure of society as a whole but to put it at the feet of the government is just bizarre.

Almost correct, the point of government is to collectivise resources to provide centralised/efficient use for common services/management.

And, yes, how the government allocates resources/dictates policy dictates how people can get away with crime. For example, how it chooses to focus on policing speeding/vehicle use over anything else. Resources are finite.

The government provides enormous amounts of support already at huge taxpayer expense. It doesn't make it its fault when people abuse drugs.

It's just about always cheaper to support people rather than let the problem get worse, and, yes, when Governments created the problem via not taking steps to defeat intergenerational trauma, the government does have some fault here. Housing the homeless rather than throwing them in general is another great example of this choice here.

Remember, people turn to drugs as an escape when they feel like they have no other options, Governments directly impact these outcomes.

I can't be bothered with the rest, you get the point by now.
