Only if crime isn’t punished. If it is, I.e. the video is used to track down the thief and put them in jail for 20 years, it definitely stops the problem.

- dylan604 3y ago20 years for burglary? Sheesh
- redeeman 3y agoits not like you just do it by accident?
- dylan604 3y agoneither was your posting of a comment that didn't further the conversation in a meaningful way. assault gets less time than that, and i'd hope that getting attacked physically would rate worse than the loss of possessions on your chart
- redeeman 3y agooh we do agree that assault should be way higher in ranking. That being said, burglary can quickly turn to violence. I just dont see why we should entertain that normal well behaved people should tolerate even a tiny risk from people who clearly does not know how to behave, but I guess I am just weird, valuing the rights of people who behave properly over those who commit violent crimes (and yes, burglary is violent)
- Mashimo 3y ago> I just dont see why we should entertain that normal well behaved people should tolerate even a tiny risk from people who clearly does not know how to behave Who said or implied that?
- redeeman 3y agoI guess thats kinda implied when thinking burglars should be let out faster than 20 years(or at all). Unless there is a way to garantuee no re-offending
- spoonjim 3y agoWhat the West refuses to learn from other countries is that you can literally eradicate crime by eradicating criminals
- sirtaj 3y agoWhich countries would you suggest emulating?
- spoonjim 3y agoSingapore
- sirtaj 3y agoYou can hardly compare a grandfather dictatorship that's smaller than most major cities as something that western countries would want to emulate. Aside from the fact that it's the kind of place where they'll put you to death for a gram of weed. Nobody in the west wants that.
- Mashimo 3y agoWhat non-west country has no crime?
- spoonjim 3y agoSingapore
- fennecfoxy 3y agoAnd the best way to address that is the root cause of why the criminals are criminals in the first place and imprison the few that refuse to change. Also, non-Western countries generally don't have a great track record with things like gay rights, women's right, etc. So I'm mostly happy that we do things the Western way and not otherwise.

- animex 3y agonah out the same-day and released on a plea or technicality as long as no-one was hurt and no weapons involved.
