I think stricter laws and harsher prisons are the answer. More death penalties too especially for repeat sexual offenders and definately for murderers. Not for people who do accidental manslaughter though. I sympathize with them because their actions were unintentional. People need a strong hand to lead them, not this free floating, it's ok you killed someone, we can make you better crap. I don't care what your rate of readmission is in your prisons and if it is smaller, some people just make bad decisions and their lives should be ended for it. I especially believe this for terrorist in Norway, but their weak prison system will make sure he spends the next 20 years eating ice cream while watching Looney Tunes.

I must point out that the bolded is indeed bullshit in my opinion. Rewarding bad actions is not the right way to go, and is not considered treatment in my book.

Glad we agree. I personally believe in the death penalty but I understand your arguement. If I were born in their exact situation, I believe I would have acted the same way but I agree with Badgegnome that strict punishment is needed as a deterrent. that being said though, I don't think the death penalty is fairly handled so it has it's flaws.
