Administration and admonitions failed to contain crime. What to do next?

Answer 1

I was waiting for others to answer this question. It is a pity that all those who answered this question are unaware of the root cause of crime It is now clear that genetic factors are the prime reason for crime and all others like eduction, poverty, punishment etc., are of secondary nature because high rates of criminality tend to run in families. The persons who frequently commit the most serious crimes typically begin their criminal careers at a quite young age. Persons who turn out to be criminals usually do not do very well in school. Programmes designed to rehabilitate high-rate offenders have not been shown to have much success, and those programmes that do manage to reduce criminality among certain kinds of offenders often increase it among others.
The baby boom may help explain why crime rose in 1960s and 1970s, but it cannot explain why some members of that boom became criminals and others did not. Many children may attend bad schools, but only a small minority become serious criminals. Economic crime rates were lower in the great Depression than during the prosperous years of the 1960s. The sentences given by judges may affect the crime rate, but we are struck by the fact that the most serious criminals begin offending at a very early age--long before they encounter, or probably even hear of, judges. Racism and Capitalism may contribute to crime. But crime has risen in the US (and other nations) most rapidly during recent times, when we have surely become less racist.High crime rates can be found in socialist as well as capitalist nations, and some capitalist nations, such as Japan and Switzerland, have very little crime. Crime existed abundantly long before the advent of television and would continue long after any hint of violence was expunged from TV Programme. All blacks suffer from racism, yet relatively few blacks become high rate offenders. Religion is not as pervasive a part of family life in Japan as it is in many Latin-American nations; despite this crime rates are much lower in Japan than in the Latin countries.
David Bayley in 1976 estimated that the risk of being robbed was 208 times greater in the United States than it was in Japan. A newspaper article recently reported concern among Japanese authorities over a rise in senseless street murders, which had brought the total for their entire nation for the year of 1982 up to thirteen. The American newspaperman observed that a single bad weekend in New York City would result in thirteen street murders. Japan is an industrialized and urbanized nation. Its cities are more than three times as densely packed with people as cities in the US. About 70 percent of each country’s population in urban. Japan has fewer police officer percapita than the US. Statutory penalties for given crimes are less severe in Japan than in the US. The per capita number of lawyers in Japan is about one-seventeenth what it is in US. Americans of Chinese and Japanese origin have significantly lower criminals than other Americans. During the 1960s, one neighborhood in San Francisco had the lowest income, the highest unemployment rate, the highest proportion of families with income under $4000 per year, the least education attainment, the highest tuberculosis rate, and the highest proportion of substandard housing of any area of the city. The neighborhood was called Chinatown. Yet in 1965, there were only five persons of Chinese ancestry committed to prison in the entire state of California.

So the only method to contain crime is a genetic course such as discourage the reproduction of the habitual criminals, mentally challenged and the sick and encourage the production of more children among the healthy and the gifted couples.

Answer 2

Perhaps focus on true rehab would be a benefit. It would be a long and expensive road (no more expensive than it is now) but to understand the source might cut it off at the source if it is acted upon. As a society you'd hav to value the solution and follow through to see if it worked.

Answer 3

So long as you continue to admire the criminals as your society's heroes and allow them to run the country, administration and admonitios are not adequate disincentive for people not joining the business of crime that leads you to riches and power over common citizens.

Answer 4

Get used to it.
If you could make a law and it was to first educate everyone to the upcoming fact that all criminals will put away forever, and then they were. Would you have to lock you house or could you then leave your keys in your car?
Of course you could.
So why is it not done? Can the law not be made? Is it wrong to remove thieves from society?
Get used to it.

Answer 5

Pray and hope for the best. As long as mankind exists, there will be crime. Greed and self-centeredness is the root of a lot of it. You can't legislate morals and you can''t just kill'em, so just try to make a difference in your own sphere of influence.

Answer 6

Self Realisation is the key to a crimeless future, to achieve this give education to everyone.

p.s: Why do i have a strange feeling like I did not understand the question?-| .

Answer 7

Ruthless law enforcement alone will help. Mere platitudes and sermons will not bring about the results. The malaise is far too deep.

Answer 8

Politicians require help of criminals to get power. They also take support to continue in the office. So in turn criminals think they get importance because they r criminals so they try to become bigger criminals. So this chain goes on. I think It is better to adopt China type of rule. There i think there must b less criminals than in democratic country.

Answer 9

Drop back 10 yards and punt...

Answer 10

It is time to consult with law enforcement....as tough as that may be.
