I totally agree with the first part. Obviously I disagree with how they're doing it though.

As for the second part then it becomes a matter of why? And then to consider how often is crime truly random? It isn't like every act of violence or vandalism is without motive. What automatically makes those motives less deserving of punishment without consideration of the motive itself.
