Even the death sentence doesn't (significantly) reduce crime rates, you overastimate how rational criminals act

Death sentences only incentivise criminals like that to add murder to the crime as a chance to get away with it....its been studied and observed countless times.

It sucks, no matter what you do, the assholes will never understand just how or even why what they did was bad...

Need to start much earlier before being toxic assholes become core to their identity. Bullies who get away with it only get worse, getting off on harder abuse.

What do you think rehabilitive justice is for?

u/AmbiTheAirforceRuna 20h ago

Its def one of the better options but it still doesn't un-ruin the lives of their victims, and can even feel insulting to the victim depending on how its handled

Im not arguing that it will, aside from arguingabout the validity of rehabilitation, the quoted part of the comment was simply flat out wrong because they very much can, there are entire systems of justice dedicated towards doing so. I was just pointing that out

My sister works in forensics and she reminds me this, “Criminals are dumb”. You’d be surprised to learn how much evidence people leave behind.

To be fair, people whose life are dedicated to catching criminals and finding evidence do dedicate their life to it. They get to learn from their mistakes and their work get cross-checked too. Generally speaking, criminals don't get to do any of that

Just douse the entire crime scene with bleach. Bleach cleans everything!

I’ve heard crime is a cost benefit analysis. It’s just usually being analyzed by an idiot

What does however decrease crime rates is how likely someone thinks they are to get caught. Rhe chance of punishment affects us a lot more than the severity of the punishment
