Gini coefficients?
No.
Low chance of being caught, low chance of meaningful punishment, low public profile of punishment putting it out of sight and put of mind. High chance of being let off, which has a higher public profile. It may make wellmeaning people feel good and it avoids hurting some individuals, but it's disastrous for society.
