You could do any kind of crime and potentially get away with it. That’s not a good measure of how serious it is.

- nytgop77 5y agoBut the statistic of how often doing X gets somebody in jail is very important measure. (there is a fine for littering, but people constantly drop cigarette butts or gum on the ground, because there is no enforcement. And since there is no enforcement it is perceived as not a serious thing / acceptable behaviour) Edit: to add to that, there are two dimensions: potential punishment and probability of enforcment. Both are equaly important.
