I never said all crimes. We're talking about the bad ones. The ones where innocent people get killed by pathetic drunk drivers, and families get destroyed forever.
Another example...People slinging fentanyl for profit, knowing how deadly and addicitive it is, dont deserve chance after chance. Easy bail doesnt work. North America is a crapshow right now because of lenient sentencing.
Not all people deserve a second chance. Thats a snowflake attitude. And many violent criminals dont feel that they need "rehab".
Its a harsh stance, but one rooted in reality.
It's a stupid stance. And one that is completely ineffective.
First, if you are talking about drunk drivers you have to remember about half men admit to having done it. It's safe to assume many more have and won't admit to it.
The fact that they have not killed anyone while doing it is pure chance.
Under your definition the majority of people could be locked up forever or judicially killed. That seems problematic.
FYI north America does not have lenient sentencing compared to other developed countries - it's actually mid/high.
People who cannot be rehabilitated are mentally ill, like psychopaths and sociopaths. That's a medical issue where they may need to be institutionalised for their safety and the safety of others.
I'd submit that all other could be rehabilitated and it should be our practical and moral imperative to do so.
I'm no snowflake. I think that we should invest heavily into the policing of crimes and have much higher conviction rates. I just think that once convicted we should follow a data driven approach and focus on rehabilitation.
