This argument always boggles the mind. We live in arguably the safest place in the entire world and still we have people saying that we are going about it (keeping ourselves safe) all wrong.
More prisons, death penalties, send children to the slammer and don't bother trying to figure out why someone commits a crime, just punish them for it...
Why would we take a fundamentally different (and really old-school) approach to the justice system. Do you think we'd actually be better off?
