I feel like if Gen Urobuchi had taken the reigns for RWBY's concept, civilians would be kept constantly happy-drugged to keep the Grimm at bay, most likely at some kind of price. Like how, in Psycho-Pass, the Sybil System allows police to attempt to apprehend people who have a high chance of committing a violent crime before they do so, through analyzing their mental and emotional state. One price of that is that people are so used to living in a society with very little violence that, when they do see or experience violence, they have a hard time handling it and will either freeze up or become mentally and emotionally unstable to the point where they also qualify to be apprehended by police.

To be honest, though, the Grimm being attracted to negativity has been the reason Ozpin has been wanting everything carried out so secretly, so I guess that's one effect it has had on the story's present day.
