Haha, did he now? 
Well, it would be weird if every member of a site where people come from all over the world agreed on something as complex as politics 
| mrs.nordlead said: i think it would be great to fined out why crimes are being committed, however something would still need to be done because unfortunately us knowing why is not necessarily going to stop them. and then there is a whole other issue with peoples feelings as to why because every expert has their own theory...the thing is, is that you cant pin point one reason that sums up all murders and why they are committed or all rapes and say this is why they occur or all robberies and say that they all take place because of one reason. personally, i think that most crime is do to the brake down of the family and parents not taking interest in raising their children with any kind of moral compass, and every one having their own opinion as to right and wrong and nothing being black and white. if everyone makes their "own truth" and right and wrong is all in the eye of the individual then that allows for all kinds of issues... |
I am definitely in for preventing crime, rather than punish for crime, but I don't think anyone is so delusional as to think it's an easy task. No person is just the same, and if it was easy to prevent crime, it wouldn't be here in the first place.
And another reason for why people commit crimes is because of a lack of money. If your family is starving, and you can't get an honest job, then what solutions do you have? Borrow money from the bank? People not being able to repay their loans is a big reason we are in this economic mess in the first place. Get an education so you qualify for a job? If your family is starving, you probably can't afford a new education.
At the same time, you might not be able to pay for heat, and if it's winter, you might get ill. How do you plan on paying for the treatment? Some people are pushed into crime by economic desperation, and a system that provides money for people who can't earn money themselves (even when it is just enough to get by), free healthcare and free education provides many more solutions for people to get back on their feet. People don't have to worry about day-to-day survival, the government has you covered.
