This is sickening.

Also, saying they are aware of the punishments of committing the crime implies that you're saying that they know it's a crime, and thus that they don't need teaching that it is wrong, but need punishment for knowingly and willingly committing that crime. Severe punishment to ensure that it does not happen again.

That's the thing. Why do they knowingly and willingly commit crimes and will severe punishment fix that thinking? Doubt it. 

How will teaching help? They know it's a crime, and therefore know it's wrong. What's left to teach?
