[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Progressive criminal justice policies do not work.  Period.  There is no evidence from anywhere that says that violence interruptors, refusal to prosecute, detain or incarcerate even violent offenders, "restorative justice" and liberal parole policies do anything other than signal to criminals that lawlessness is completely acceptable.  How bad does it have to get before the progressive council and AG understand that the way to get crime under control is to actually have unpleasant consequences happen to the people who commit it?  [/quote]

Initially I thought that more compassion would be a good thing but unfortunately punishment does seem to be the answer. If the criminal isn't punished, they have the freedom & the mindset to commit more crimes due to no consequences.

The so-called progressive policies are  treating criminals as stupid. These policies say that criminals & would be criminals are  - unable to make the reasoned connection - between committing crime & no consequences.

It's deeply insulting to think that criminals are incapable of making basic connections. [/quote]
NP, I have no problem with more compassion towards those who haven't committed crimes [i]yet[/i]. But once they do commit those crimes, no more compassion and they must face the consequences of their actions.

Politicians - do everything in your power to compassionately "save" at risk kids. That's fine. But once they commit the crime? The focus needs to switch away from compassion for them.[/quote]
