I hope I can live long enough to see the rehabilitation method that prevents recidivism in statistically significant number of cases, especially for violent crimes like murder or rape. I think that rehabilitation is something we can try on those guilty of minor offenses, but for murderers, rapist, mobsters, the only effective way to prevent recidivism is death penalty.
- mabbo 8y ago> for murderers, rapist, mobsters, the only effective way to prevent recidivism is death penalty. For all of them? What about the wrongly convicted? We know that a certain percentage of those found guilty of murder are later found to have been innocent. Victims of rape sometimes, years later, admit that they lied. When your loved one, your child, is wrongly found guilty of such a crime, should we give them the death penalty immediately, or let them rot in a hellish prison for a few years first? Nothing is a simple as you'd like it to be.

Ex-wives frequently accuse their ex-husbands of rape, and also evil parents sometimes coach children to allege the other parent of molestation.
- EliRivers 8y agoNot every murder even requires rehabilitation. Given that I can't murder the same person twice, if the reason for murdering them isn't something I could apply to another, I'll never do it again. No jail time, rehab or death sentence necessary.
