If you think a more just society requires rehabilitation & showing the criminals a better way, you just got schooled by the far-left voters of San Francisco.
They found out the hard way that there are some very, very bad people out there, and they got sick of them. A very small number of sociopathic folks are not deterred by anything but the certainty of punishment.
In the worst case, all you can do is ensure that they can't prey on everyone else. Lacking capital punishment for most crimes, we're left with imprisonment, or Clockwork Orange.

- Cupertino95014 4y agoThat's right as far as it goes. What's missing is any realization that our society can't do "rehabilitation or education" effectively and if it could, just replacing the DA won't make it happen. Secondly, as I said, there is a non-negligible criminal population that's already been raised, so all the talk about raising your kids or your dogs properly is kinda irrelevant. For a really sociopathic person, therapy is just finishing school: it teaches them how to fake normal human emotions more effectively.
