You keep saying "in a perfect world, we would...". But the fact is we don't live ina perfect world. These methods that you're suggesting, reasoning with criminals, trying to set the straight, simply isn't practical.
We don't know how to 'treat' every criminal. We don't know how long it'll take to treat every criminal. We don't know how much it'll cost to treat every criminal. We don't know if we'll have the resources required t treat every criminal. We don't even know if every criminal is treatable e etc. And how would we even test these treatment methods? Just let the murderes back out in the streets and hope we've succeeded?
Our current jail system is the most pragmatic approach which punishes & contains them. |
Which is why I said that I support the current treatment + punishment system that jail has to offer. It is simply the best available solution at the moment, like you said.
(I have said this before, but anyway) This thread is not mainly about that though. It's about defending the criminals (from hate), as the title suggests. And, of course, the illogical electric chair. Why would you end someone's life because he happened to fall under the 'unfortunate' category? I say we should make that person fortunate instead. |
Why should we not hate them? Hate is an extreme disliking of someone. You can extremely dislike someone while still believing they had no control over their actions. Hate is a feeling & is many times uncontrollable. As long as people don't act with hatred, then we're fine.
