So under your system, a person can steal without the threat of jail so long as they don't do it violently. Hard to see the downsides of such a system.

- mveety 10y agoI'm not entirely convinced that it's the threat of punishment that stops criminals. Going on the criminals I know (crap evidence, I know), excluding the total psychopaths, what has stopped them is guilt for hurting people and/or wanting to be a better role model to their kids/siblings/younger kids that look up to them. All that the justice system seems to do is take away their ability to make legal income and years of their life. For the criminals lacking empathy, I don't know of a good solution to preventing them from hurting people.
