counties -> countries ?
- franksredhot 5y agoI assume the parents comment was a reference to some of the counties in Washington state and a few other states where the district attorney’s office has opted to not persecute non-violent offenses or otherwise limit what charges they are willing to pursue.
- rsj_hn 5y agoI am talking about counties in the U.S. There are a handful of extremist district attorneys that follow the view that non-violent crime should not result in prosecution or prison. To my knowledege, there are no countries anywhere that have adopted this view, and only a few local district attorneys are advocating for it. There are differences in the severity of non-violent crime needed to get prison sentences, but that was always the case.
