If we could do you think we should eliminate crime altogether?

Because we very well could end all crime if we wanted to with technology.

However, I know freedoms would be limited. I'm wondering if you think it's a necessary human action for civilation. Please explain?

This isn't a homework assignment I just want to know what people think.

Crime as in what? sex, stealing, doing drugs?

The real crime is that we make people responsible, free-willing agents apart from any contigencies, of their own perfectly shapeable environment. The whole thing needs to get re-evaluated.

By analogy, imagine a world without sin.
And I'll tell you what that is, it's where we don't ASSUME there is such a thing, and all the metaphysical baggage that makes it so.

This needs to happen: the world of "necessary violence" from disciplining a child to incarceration, to war Needs to END. The whole thing, the solution is holistic. That includes violence as impovershment, ignorance, prescribed/forced labor, and not just "intolerance" but lack of human reciprocity. Violence isn't necessary. But it's going to take the whole world to realize that. And someday I have faith we will, although passive sheltering of that belief is not enough.

Try as best you can to distinguish every form of violence you see. Whenever you have a moral option (which is every option) think not "what is the less of two evils" but "how is it that I only have these options" and REFUSE it. Refuse anything that makes you choose violence. And then you will be able to understand alternatives, not before.

The Bible says man sat around and thought of evil to do. Read Romans 1, all of the first chapter any 'version'. Evil is a part of the human psyche (built in). The question then becomes to what degree of evil? There are the Jeffrey Dahmers' ( killed and ate the flesh if his victims) and then there are those who do evil for the necessary good of the people ( wars and their casualties). Because man is inherently evil he has to consciously strive to do good and be good that's why we have the Bible, Torah, Hadith, Qu'ran and all the other writings and teachings that would lead us to a 'perfect' place. So, is crime a neccessary evil ? It's a PRODUCT of the evil that men do.

Technically, "crime" is breaking a law. But, many people feel that breaking unjust laws is a good thing to do. Consider Rosa Parks, Susan B. Anthony, and other forms of civil disobedience.

So, I think crime is necessary if only to challenge unjust laws. To get rid of crime entirely not only eliminates crimes we'd like to get rid of, but also eliminates civil disobedience. Since we challenge bad laws by breaking them (and becoming criminals), crime should not be eliminated altogether.

Why would you purport to equate evilness with necessity?
Evil is not the same as crime. Let's say you are homeless, you have two hungry children, you steal a loaf of bread for them to eat. You have committed a crime (shoplifting), yet it doesn't mean you are evil.
Many times crimes are committed out of sheer ignorance, stupidity, not necessarily because one is evil.

I don't think crime is necessary (as in we couldn't do without it) but yes, it's better than having very limited freedoms.
