You'll never guess how El Salvador slashed crime rates by 75%

HANS BADER FROM LIBERTY UNYIELDING 7:20 PM on December 09, 2022

 

The murder rate has fallen by two thirds since 2018, and crime has fallen by 75%, in El Salvador as it has imprisoned large numbers of criminals. The country has put nearly 2% of its adult population in prison. This is due to the anti-crime policies of its current president, Nayib Bukele. …

 

Harsher penalties discourage crime. Crime in California fell significantly after California voters adopted Proposition 8, which mandated longer sentences for repeat offenders who kill, rape, and rob others. A study found those longer sentences deterred many crimes from being committed. Similarly, a 2008 Santa Clara University study found that longer sentences for three-time offenders led to “significantly faster rates of decline in robbery, burglary, larceny, and motor vehicle theft.”

 

In addition to deterring crimes by people outside of prison, longer sentences also keep dangerous people locked up so they can’t harm law-abiding people. Killings have increased in Baltimore, where most killings are committed by people who previously were convicted of a serious crime, but who are no longer in jail due to their past lenient sentence.

What is hard to discuss with some people is the recognition that about 1-2% of our population is always willing to do bad things if it makes their life easier. There are very few truly sociopathic people but people who are so lazy that they are willing to be bad is in that 1-2%

This is a sad video to me- not  one father in the video anywhere. Any community that does not have both masculine and feminine influence is doomed. Men need to do better in this regard.

Do you guys just need to B word about everything?  How about some perspective. 

 

By the end of 2021, a total of 108 countries had abolished the use of the death penalty, more than two thirds of the world; nevertheless, 55 countries still have the death penalty in their penal toolbox. Most notable are the USA, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Somalia, South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

 

It's not like those inmates got released.  They are doing life.

Yeah great argument!

You can't seem to have opinions one a subject without making a logical salad of multiple things to make an absurd point. 

These inmates are doing life.  They were not released.

It's an inconvenient argument for the "oh noes, the death penalty is terruble!" crowd.

I don't see a 14 year old girl aborting her uncles baby as murder.  But you carry on.  Not sure how they relate to each other.
