[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only way to get a handle on this is “mass incarceration” of “juvenile offenders”—here meaning up to age 26 evidently—and this will never, ever happen. DC government has no interest in protecting crime victims, those in positions of authority on such matters care only about the offenders. This is not going to change anytime soon.[/quote] This is stupid. First, a mass incarceration of juvenile offenders until the age of 26 would be wickedly expensive and DC taxpayers would foot the bill. Second, it would do nothing to change criminal behavior and likely worsen an already bad situation. Numerous studies cite negative long-term effects of incarcertaion that include depression, substance use, homelessness, and loss of economic productivity. These have both direct financial and societal costs to DC and other communities.[/quote] Then you fix that part of it. The answer to those problems is not to let crime go unpunished.[/quote]
