I am not sure your point. The original argument made by the parent was that "In other nations with a better social system this worked quite well however." Is your hypothesis that these better social systems lead to comparable rates of major crime but significantly lower rates of petty crime? On the face of it that seems unlikely, but I'd be interested in any evidence you have.
- RandallBrown 7y agoI don't have any evidence, but to my intuition it makes a lot of sense. The amount of time, effort, and risk to sell a stolen car seems much higher than the amount of effort to sell the stuff you find in the back seat of a car. Since most people resorting to crime for money are pretty desperate, I would imagine they would choose the easier, faster, and safer method. I couldn't find any numbers to back this up though, most crime statistics I saw focused on violent crime.
