| chapset said: I don't trust that picture post in the OP there are too many third world countries with a lower incarceration rate then first world countries when by a fact they have the highest murder rate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate) and everyone no povrety is the mother of crime |
they don't keep prisoners. they kill them.

I don't believe it either: here in Italy with have a lot of immigrants, they are a lot, but they are minorities anyway, and while illegal ones have higher than average crime rates, regular ones have lower ones, they are actually more honest than the Italian average. Minorities integrated in the society for decennia or even centuries should have around the same crime rate of the majority, unless there be still forms of discrimination, both in the way they are judged and in the opportunities they are given to get a decent life. And one thing I never understood is why no big mafia boss has ever been sentenced to death in USA. Just this fact should force any honest judge to apply death penalty only to the worst serial killers, otherwise there wouldn't be equal treatment between the common thug that killed one person during a robbery and is sentenced to death and the boss that ordered many killings and countless other crimes, but receives a milder penalty. |
are you talking about my post or the OP.

This. We won't rest until we're #1 at everything!!
But seriously the reason is we don't execute enough. If we used the death penalty on murderers, rapists, shoplifters and jaywalkers we wouldn't have this problem.

If you don't have the basic literacy skills and/or numeracy skills to perform well in our economy the likelyhood that you will end up in jail (due to criminal activity) is drastically increased. |
From my perspective, while incompetent teachers is an issue, it's only a small one. Irresponsible school boards that spend most of their discretionary funding on constant remodeling of the football field while many classrooms have maps with the Soviet Union on them is a far bigger issue, as is the fact that many kids just don't give a damn about their own education. You can't teach those who refuse to learn

Then why do many of the countries that are all blacks or all latinos have lower rates?
