Lol, and you're promoting endless incarceration....... something unequivocally worse then defending criminal.
Your not having a discussion because you don't have any original thoughts on the subject. You're just regurgitating fascist propaganda.
I'm defending being a citizen who does not engage in violence, theft or crime in general. I absolutely think prioritizing those people's needs should be prioritized over those who engage in those acts. Why is defending that class of citizen so bad?
Incarceration is inherently an act of violence. Subjecting someone to undue imprisonment is enacting more violence upon someone then an assault or any theft.
They are the same people...... rehabilitating people who engage in violent crime is done for the benefit of society, not the prisoner.
Because thats not a class of people? Every class of people engage with criminal behavior, it's just the poor who can't afford to buy "justice".
Your problem is that you think criminal behavior is a product of self discipline or morality, when in reality it is a product of environment and circumstance. Your naive beliefs inhibits the very possibility that people can change or be rehabilitated. Tbh everything you've said just sounds like a thinly veiled dog whistle.
How are you helping the victims?
How are any of us helping victims? Are we talking about individually? If so, Im a healthcare worker at a children's hospital. I am all too familiar with the needs of the abused.
If we are talking about how we can help as a citizen, what policies we could enact that would help? I honestly don't think sequestering violent people away to an even more violent environment is going to be helpful in reducing violence.
Antisocial and violent behavior is learned behavior, these people are conditioned by their local environment and interpersonal relationships to believe that violence is a tool of command.
To actually reduce and prevent things like rape we need to reshape the environments of the most impoverished populations. We also need to pay attention the the mental well-being of our younger population, regardless to class or creed.
