Let me help you out.  Property crimes have the largest rate of recidivism.

Crimes done for economic benefit are done so because... well economic benefit.  So if you beat someone up for their money... you have good incentive to do so again.

If you beat someone up because they are a different race for fun... and you go to jail for a while.

What is your benefit to do so again?


Racists aren't mentally ill or anything... (well some are)

They beat people up of another race by actual choice.  Not compulsion or need.


Therefore rcidivism SHOULD be lower then people of compulsion (crazy) or need (poor).

Doesn't this make the ma bigger threat to society? They're not crazy (and crazy people should be sent to mental institutions, not prison), nor are they doing it out of need (and there could be programs who could help them to get a job and live an honest living). How exactly can you "fix" a racist/homophobe, so the he can ever be released back into society?
