One advantage the Norwegian prison system has is that it is filled with Norwegians, I would be careful generalizing conclusions from it.
That being said, one concept I rarely see discussed is the use of basic income as an incentive against crime, particularly violent crime: if you lost your citizens dividend after conviction and slowly earned it back every year upon release that would act as a powerful and immediate incentive to avoid violence.
- jackmott 9y agois there any evidence that incentives like that work for violent crime? we know that harshness of punishment has no impact on deterrence.
- anarazel 9y agoWouldn't it increase the likelihood of further crime, due to lack of income?
- posterboy 9y agoThat's ignoring that much crime happens out of greed, monetary or honourary, basic income doesn't satisfy either, by definition.
