You are still looking at years in prison for theft. I'm not sure if 20 years in prison is really that much more of a deterrent than 5 years.

- HeyLaughingBoy 9y agoIt's been 30 years since I was in High School and I still remember being taught back then that studies showed that length of prison sentence didn't have a noticeable deterrent effect. Most crimes are committed by people who feel they have nothing to lose.
