I think the crimes are categorically different, and you can't compare them in that manner.
There is no singular "the value of life". There are numbers which some people use in very specific circumstances. Prices for life are subjective. I would say mine is priceless, and might say yours is much cheaper.
When you take someones life, they don't have a chance to put a price to it.
- GavinMcG 2y agoDo any of those reasons weigh against measuring the seriousness of financial crimes in terms of actuarial lives? No problem with the objection that lives are priceless, but couldn’t the inverse still be a useful lens?
- s1artibartfast 2y agoI dont think it is useful at all. They are categorically different. There is single plunishment for lives lost in the legal system either. It depends on many things like intent. A life lost could range from life in prison to no punishment at all. Same for financial crime, and each depend on like 10 factors.
